Looking forward to seeing you at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025! It’s all going down at Moscone West in San Francisco from October 27-29, marking the 20th birthday of the TechCrunch brand. This year’s event will focus on the impact tech has on one-on-one interactions. We’ll pay particular attention to the effects of artificial intelligence.
There will be an impressive roster of speakers on the AI Stage at our conference, including these three powerful voices. One of them is Dr. Amanda Gesselman, a principal research scientist at the Kinsey Institute. Dr. Gesselman’s research interests include digital intimacy and emotional outsourcing. Her previous work has highlighted the ways in which our relationships are being transformed in the age of AI. We can’t wait to hear her perspective on how technology influences love and intimacy, and the pursuit of human connection.
Also featured will be another key speaker, Mark Kantor, head of product at Tinder and former general manager at Zynga. Kantor’s participation will bring huge insights into how AI-powered matchmaking works, the new role of dating applications in creating relationships of all kinds, and much more. Attendees should be prepared for a timely and provocative session that focuses on why artificial intelligence is the future of human engagement.
As AI plays a larger role in our interpersonal relationships, conversations will naturally shift to topics of love, trust, and technology. Our sessions will unpack whether AI can really help folks find “the one.” We’ll explore whether it further complicates matters by introducing a third party into intimate relationships.
