What do you think about Japan's economy for the future?

I have an opinion regarding Japanese economy.
That is not so positive.
The biggest problem is the aging society because currently Japanese birth rate is around 1.12 which is the worst rate from all over the advanced country as long as I know.

自然な表現

I have an opinion regarding the Japanese economy, which is not so positive. Our biggest problem is the aging society.     Currently, the Japanese birth rate is around 1.12, which is the worst rate among all    advanced countries as far as I know.

1 and 8. Use "the" before specific nouns.

12. The correct pattern is "all + plural noun."
13. The correct collocation is "as far as I know."


Note: Spacing has been adjusted throughout the conversation.
You make a strong point about the birth rate. With fewer young people, Japan might face labor shortages and slower growth. How do you think technology or immigration could help address this issue?

I wish technology like AI and Immigration will help address this issue.
Honestly speaking, I started to use AI from this year while I already feel the big potential of AI. We have to use AI as much as possible then we have to change how to work from totally different angle.

8. Use the possessive adjective to avoid repetition.
12. Use "we" as the subject of the clause.
13. Use "a/an" before singular and nonspecific nouns. 
It’s great that you’re exploring AI and seeing its potential. How have you started using AI in your work or daily life, and what changes do you think it can bring to the way people work in Japan?
