Listen "The Algorithm That Ghosted Sarah: Dating Apps' Hidden Biases"
Episode Synopsis
Meet Sarah Chen, a 32-year-old architect whose dating app matches suddenly changed dramatically after she moved to a new city. Through her story, we uncover how dating algorithms silently factor in age, profession, and location to create digital relationship barriers. We explore how machine learning models trained on historical dating patterns perpetuate societal biases, and reveal why certain professionals mysteriously disappear from each other's feeds. Industry whistleblower Marcus Rodriguez shares insights about the profit-driven decisions behind match algorithms, while digital ethicist Dr. Maya Patel explains how these systems can reinforce social segregation.
