LINKEDIN – The latest episode of the Harvard Data Science Review Podcast explores how data science shapes modern dating, questioning whether algorithms optimize for lasting relationships or simply user engagement. Host Liberty Vittert Capito and guest co-host Miguel Paredes are joined by Amy Andersen of Linx Dating and Adam Cohen-Aslatei of Three Day Rule Matchmaking to examine the gap between what people say they want and what they need, the limits of swipe-based systems, the value of post-date feedback as data, and whether AI enhances matchmaking or risks oversimplifying human connection.
