Google to use generative AI to tackle regional issues across Japan

Google announced on June 19 that it will begin using generative AI to support municipalities with issues each community faces.

 

In Osaka Prefecture, where support will begin ahead of other areas, the declining working population is becoming a serious issue.

 

Additionally, the concentration of job seekers in specific occupations has led to employment mismatches.

 

The prefecture plans to use AI to suggest job positions to job seekers that they might not realize they are suited for.

 

Google plans to expand this initiative to municipalities across the country in the future.
