Could AI End Loneliness? Here’s How "Saturday" Is Making It A Reality, with CEO Cliff Lerner

from Main Street AI · host Multimodal

We live in the most technologically connected age in human history, yet 60% of Americans report feeling lonely. The COVID-19 pandemic only made the “loneliness epidemic” worse. Cliff Lerner founded one of the first online dating apps back in the early two-thousands, growing the platform to over 100 million users. Fast forward to today, he’s again placing bold bets — this time on AI-powered social networking. His latest startup, Saturday, aims to help people build meaningful relationships both online and offline. Cliff has seen firsthand how technology can undermine the very social fabric it aims to create. As loneliness reaches epidemic levels, he wants to leverage predictive analytics to help people forge new bonds focused on fulfillment versus addiction. We sat down with Cliff to get his take on how AI can play a role in reducing loneliness, and he uncovered exactly how he’s implementing the technology into his app. __ Pioneers is presented by Multimodal Produced by Thursday Labs
