AI Matchmaking Bets on Conversation Over Swipes

A wave of AI-powered dating apps like Fate in London is reshaping how people find partners by using an agentic AI that interviews users, proposes five matches (no swiping), and can coach conversations. Proponents say AI can highlight authentic compatibility based on personality similarity and reduce the repetitive grind of major platforms, while critics warn about privacy, overreliance on algorithms, and potential manipulation. Early users report dates and excitement, but industry research shows broad skepticism about AI guiding intimate conversations, reflecting a tension between novelty, vulnerability, and real-world results.

Dana White Signals Diminished Role in UFC Matchmaking Amid Antitrust Hearings

UFC CEO Dana White testified for more than two hours in two ongoing antitrust lawsuits, detailing a largely hands‑off role in fighter negotiations and matchmaking since Hunter Campbell’s rise, with the matchmakers handling most deals and White joining only at the final stage. He also revealed limited tech use, saying he switched to smartphones for data retention and plans to return to flip phones after the cases, and discussed a missing phone he believes was stolen by a UFC employee tied to Ari Emanuel. Tracy Long offered parallel testimony on communications with fighters, and Judge Boulware is slated to call Campbell and other UFC staff to the stand next.
