Bumble’s new AI tool identifies and blocks scam accounts, fake profiles


Bumble announced today that it's launching a new AI-powered feature that is designed to help identify spam, scams and fake profiles.

The launch of the new feature comes as internal Bumble research showed that fake profiles and the risk of scams are users’ top concerns when online dating, the company says. For instance, 40% of people who lost money to a romance scam said the contact started on social media, while 19% said it began on a website or app. The app recently launched AI-powered icebreaker suggestions that help users write and send a first message based on the other person’s profile.
