Can AI help solve Japan's labour shortages?
Briefly

In a country facing a shrinking population and a labor shortfall, Japan is turning to AI technology to fill the gap. Companies like Osaka Ohsho's parent firm, Eat&Holdings, are implementing AI-powered cameras to enhance production efficiency and keep up with demand.
The use of AI technology in manufacturing has resulted in a significant reduction in required manpower, with Eat&Holdings spokeswoman mentioning a 30% decrease in the manufacturing line workforce.
Japan's labor force is projected to decline by 12% from 2022 to 2040, leading to a massive shortage of workers. With the country's aging population and low birth rates, the reliance on AI and technology is crucial to address the labor crisis.
