Vision from the Future: A 'Dating App' for Deciding Where to Live

An article by Silver Keskulla, founder of Teleportinc, begins by providing an introduction to the forms of artificial intelligence (AI) that are already contributing to the management of lives—from communications to dating websites to how cars work (and eventually, how self-driving cars will work).

Given the many forms and applications that AI has already taken, it shouldn't come as a surprise then that Keskkula and others are working to build software that helps people decide where to live and how to get there. "In short, a dating site between people and locations," explains Keskkula.

"Our vision," adds Keskkula, "is to make moving so easy and information about life quality so transparent that we would end up with a world where countries and cities compete for each citizen (not vice versa)." AI, he believes, will play a critical role in achieving that goal.

The remainder of the article introduces some of the questions asked and answered in the initial tests of the concept, which Keskkula describes as promising.
