Many already offer human-run matchmaking services and some have introduced AI systems in the hope they will perform a more sophisticated analysis of the standardised forms where people submit their details. A few of the existing systems are limited to considering criteria such as income and age, only producing a result if there is an exact match.

She pointed to a recent report which suggests a link between lower income levels and the loss of interest in romantic relationships among young Japanese adults. “If they’re not interested in dating, the matchmaking would likely be ineffective,” Dr

Horiguchi told the BBC. “If we are to rely on technologies, affordable AI robots taking over household or childcare tasks may be more effective.”

她指出，近来的一份钻研陈述表白，日今年轻成年人无意谈爱情和低收入程度有关。堀口博士奉告BBC称：“若是他们对约会没乐趣，那末婚恋配对极可能没有结果。若是咱们要寄托技能来解决问题，让平价的智能呆板人帮手干家务或赐顾帮衬孩子可能会更有用。”
