(D)from請依下文回答第46 題到第50 題：Japan plans to boost its tumbling birth rate by funding artificial intelligence matchmaking schemes to help residentsfind love. Last year the number of babies born in Japan fell below 865,000 - a record low. The fast-greying nation haslong been searching for ways to reverse one of the world's lowest fertility rates. Boosting the use of AI tech is one of itslatest efforts.From next year it will subsidize local governments already running or starting projects that use AI to pair peopleup. The government plans to allocate local authorities 2 billion yen to boost the birth rate. Many already offer human-run matchmaking services and some have introduced AI systems in the hope they will perform a more sophisticatedanalysis of the standardized forms where people submit their details. Some of the existing systems are limited toconsidering criteria such as income and age, only producing a result if there is an exact match. Local media say that thefunding is meant to help the government use more expensive, advanced systems that take things like hobbies and valuesinto account.Sachiko Horiguchi, a socio-cultural and medical anthropologist at Japan's Temple University, thinks there are betterways for the government to bump up the birth rate than subsidizing AI matchmaking - such as helping young peopleearning low wages. She pointed to a recent report which suggests a link between lower income levels and the loss ofinterest in romantic relationships among young Japanese adults.Japan's population is projected to fall from a peak of 128 million in 2017 to less than 53 million by the end of thecentury. By helping local governments run AI-powered matchmaking initiatives, it is hoped that the nation's decliningbirthrate can be reversed.✓ 正解✕ 你選的
