Tokyo's AI Dating App Leads to 265 Marriages Amid Push to Boost Birth Rate

The Tokyo government's AI-powered dating app has resulted in 265 marriages since its launch, according to official data. The app, named Tokyo Enmusubi, went live in September 2024 and is part of efforts to address Japan's declining birth rate. A survey conducted before the launch found that around 70% of people interested in marriage were not actively participating in matchmaking activities. The app uses artificial intelligence to suggest potential matches based on users' values and preferences. The Tokyo government hopes that by making it easier for people to find partners, the app will help increase marriage rates and, ultimately, the birth rate. The 265 couples who married after meeting through the app represent a tangible success for the initiative. The service is free for Tokyo residents aged 18 and over, and requires users to provide proof of income and a certificate of unmarried status to ensure sincerity. The launch of Tokyo Enmusubi follows similar efforts by other Japanese municipalities to use technology to combat the country's demographic challenges.
