Grindr Inc. (NYSE: GRND) today announced it has signed an
exclusive partnership with Ex-Human, a leading provider of
generative artificial intelligence and machine learning models, to
fuel the app company’s in-house artificial intelligence
capabilities and enhance the experience of its users.
Grindr’s diverse user community continues to grow and evolve,
expanding the ways that gay, bi, trans, and queer people connect
with one another and the world around them. Through this new
partnership, Grindr will thoughtfully leverage Ex-Human’s
foundational models and tools to build new, engaging features
designed to support the wide range of networking and dating needs
of its users, from casual encounters to longer-term
relationships.
In expanding its use of artificial intelligence, Grindr’s
commitment to safeguarding privacy through transparency and user
choice remains unchanged. Grindr will continue to enable users to
control their personal data and their in-app experience, and will
notify users as AI-powered features become available in the app.
Grindr users’ personal data will remain on Grindr’s infrastructure,
which Ex-Human will not have access to. Grindr will own new IP
created using Grindr data, and it has the right to acquire
perpetual IP rights to Ex-Human’s model for use in the core Grindr
product.
Grindr expects to release prototypes of some AI functionality in
2024.
“By partnering with Ex-Human, Grindr has the opportunity to
transform the dating experience for the global LGBTQ+ community,”
said AJ Balance, Chief Product Officer at Grindr. “We look forward
to rolling out innovative artificial intelligence-based features
that help our users around the world make more meaningful
connections with one another.”
“We are incredibly excited to introduce Ex-Human’s models to the
Grindr platform,” said Ex-Human Founder and CEO Artem Rodichev.
“Our technology has valuable applications to improve the user
experience in dating, and we look forward to working with the
Grindr team to help bring these features to life for the LGBTQ+
community.”
