Dating apps are modern day segregation: a look into how the algorithms keep us apart
The one where Hinge needs to drop their location
Emma and Nicole speak to Apryl Williams, an assistant professor of communication and digital studies at the University of Michigan, senior fellow in Trustworthy AI at the Mozilla Foundation, and faculty associate at Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. She’s the author of Not My Type: Automating Sexual Racism in Online Dating.
They discuss Apryl's research into about dating app inequality and sexual racism in online dating and how prejudice and bias gets baked into modern day dating culture through algorithms and AI.
