• He recently quit to warn the world about the potential threat of AI, saying it's coming sooner than he had previously thought.

• He regrets his life's work due to AI taking jobs and the proliferation of fake photos, videos, and text that appear real.

Lets lighten the mood … Tinder’s verification process will now use AI and video selfies

• Tinder is rolling out an AI-powered update to its Photo Verification feature, requiring users to take a video selfie instead of photos.

• The upgrade will also allow users to restrict their chats to individuals who are Photo Verified.

• The feature aims to make the app safer by using technology to create fake photos and personas, as well as providing a “liveness” check in the form of a video selfie.

• To become verified, users must complete video prompts that match the person in their profile picture.

• Features such as filtering "Likes" page for photo verified members, and restricting messages only to those who are photo verified will be rolled out in the coming months.
