Kinsey Institute, Tinder & Replika Reps to Discuss AI Dating at TechCrunch Event

SAN FRANCISCO — Representatives from Kinsey Institute, Tinder, and Replika will be part of a session at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025.

Kinsey Institute research scientist Dr. Amanda Gesselman, whose work explores how digital intimacy, platforms, and emotional outsourcing are redefining relationships in the AI era, will join Mark Kantor, head of product at Tinder, and Eugenia Kuyda, founder of Replika, on the AI stage "to explore the future of love, trust, and tech," said a rep.

"From dating apps and AI-powered matchmaking to full-on digital companionship, artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a third party in our most personal relationships," the rep added. "But is it truly helping us find deeper connection — or just reshaping romance into an algorithmic illusion?"
