"Bumble Introduces AI Tool to Combat Scam and Fake Profiles"
Bumble has introduced a new AI tool called Deception Detector to identify and block scam accounts and fake profiles, reducing user reports of spam and scams by 45% in testing. The tool automatically blocks 95% of identified spam or scam accounts and operates alongside Bumble's human moderation team. This move comes as Bumble's research revealed that fake profiles and scams are top concerns for users, particularly women, in online dating. The Federal Trade Commission reported that romance scams cost victims $1.3 billion in 2022, with Bumble's new tool aiming to make the app safer by addressing these issues.
