Data, analytics, and AI are changing personal relationships in various ways. Here are some examples: 

  1. Online Dating: With the help of data and analytics, online dating apps use algorithms to match people based on their preferences, interests, and other factors. This helps people find potential partners who are more compatible with them. 
  2. Virtual Assistants: Voice-activated virtual assistants, like Siri and Alexa, can help people stay connected with their friends and family by facilitating voice calls, sending messages, and scheduling appointments. They can also help with tasks that improve relationships, such as reminding users to send birthday greetings or buy anniversary gifts. 
  3. Social Media: Social media platforms use AI to personalize users’ newsfeeds based on their interests, activities, and connections. This can impact personal relationships by exposing users to different viewpoints and experiences, but it can also create echo chambers and reinforce existing biases.
