Japan: New dating app helps find AI partner bots for lonely individuals
With over 5,000 users, Loverse is a new Japanese dating app that promises to hook up real human users with their perfect AI match.
Loverse is one of many digital services attempting to address a major need in Japanese society as the country goes through an overdrawn loneliness crisis.
Statistics from Japan show that two-thirds of men in their 20s don’t have a partner. 40 percent of them have never gone on a date. 51 percent of women the same age don’t have a companion, and 25 percent have never gone out with anyone either, as per a report by The Malaysian Reserve.
