Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Japanese government plans to curb the decline in the birth rate by helping fund a more sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) matchmaking system. Without mitigation, the funds reached 2 billion yen (about Rp. 272 billion).
The number of births, which fell 5.8% to around 865,000 in 2019, is the trigger. Because this is the lowest annual figure. The decrease in the number of births is due to the ‘sexual recession’ that is taking place in the country. In Japan, the number of marriages has dropped dramatically.
In a country with a long history of human matchmaking, local governments have long switched to AI-based matchmaking. This sophisticated ‘matchmaker’ is used to match one person to another.
But many Japanese citizens only consider criteria like income and age at the top of the list. So the match will only be successful if an exact match is found.
Existing artificial intelligence technology is commonly used by a number of matchmaking applications to improve the matchmaking system between users based on multiple factors. Such as age, location, and educational background.
According to the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, funding provided by the central government is expected to allow access to more sophisticated systems. Start matching people with potential partners to meet even if income, age, or education issues are not what you want.
Saitama, north of Tokyo, spent 15 million yen (Rp. 2 billion) in the fiscal year through March 2019, but saw about 21 couples heading down the aisle. Meanwhile, government data shows that the number of marriages dropped by 200,000 in Japan from 2000 to last year.
The media said the center would guarantee about 60% of the cost of the most complex artificial intelligence system, out of the 2 billion yen (272 billion rupees) requested, to combat a drop in the birth rate in the fiscal budget. of the next year.
An official from the Cabinet Office confirmed the figure. This plan will be disbursed in 2021.
“We only disburse the money to deal with the reduction in the birth rate, it is up to local governments how to spend it.”
Meanwhile, recession is an economic term that refers to a decline in economic activity in a country for two or more quarters of a year. Sexual recession occurs in several developed countries, not only in Japan, but also in the United States and Korea.
