Shiga Prefecture started a marriage matching service using AI = artificial intelligence last fall. Two couples decided to get married by last month, and the person in charge of the prefecture said, "I am surprised that it led to marriage very quickly" Shigayui uses AI to suggest compatible partners when you answer questions about 10 values, such as activities and thoughts you want to prioritize, and behaviors you don't want your marriage partner to have.

The service was launched in October last year as part of measures to address the declining birthrate.
