Description du livre
At a time when dating platforms have become an unavoidable part of our romantic lives, Love in the Age of Algorithms explores the promises and pitfalls of this revolution. Based on more than twenty studies from 2024 and 2025, this mini book reveals how artificial intelligence sorts profiles, shapes our preferences and even influences the emergence of virtual companions. It shows that while 52 % of teenagers already talk to chatbots and 19 % of American adults have experimented with an AI partner, the majority of users remain sceptical about algorithms' ability to predict love.
With an analytical tone and concrete examples, the author deciphers popularity mechanisms, racial and sexist biases, digital ageism and growing user fatigue. He also highlights ethical challenges : the collection of sensitive data, dependence on AI and the risk of isolation. Finally, he proposes ways to make these technologies more transparent and inclusive.
