**AI: A Solution to Japan's Labour Shortage**
Japan is facing an alarming labour shortage due to a steadily declining population. However, many believe that artificial intelligence (AI) might be the key to filling this growing employment gap. AI has recently been deployed in a variety of roles, ranging from inspecting dumplings for quality at an Osaka Ohsho factory to diagnosing plant diseases on farms.
The Osaka Ohsho establishment is using AI-powered cameras to maintain their high standards for dumpling quality. The technology has proven to be an efficient solution to meet increased demand during the pandemic. They have also introduced an AI-powered cooking robot, aptly named I-Robo, to compensate for the growing shortage of skilled labor.
With Japan's population and labour force expected to decline significantly by 2040, AI has also been welcomed in the farming industry. The average age of Japanese farmers is 68.4 years, and AI provides the promising solution of early disease detection and prevention. For instance, Nihon Nohyaku has developed the Nichino AI app, which offers crop diagnostics and treatment suggestions to farmers.
AI is proving itself to be an invaluable tool in modernising the Japanese agricultural sector, increasing efficiency and productivity. Despite some skepticism, the successful implementation of AI in various sectors highlights its potential to address the workforce shortage in Japan.
Could AI be the solution we all need for labour shortages in other parts of the world too?
