Can a machine find your soulmate?
That’s the question Channel 4 has sought to answer on its new show, Personal Dater.
And Manchester software consultancy Digiryte created a bespoke artificial intelligence algorithm especially for the show, which was pitted against two of the applicant’s best friends to help them find their dream partner.
Applicants filled out a questionnaire created by a Channel 4 psychologist and gave the AI access to their social media accounts.
