Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in human reproduction is a rapidly evolving field with both exciting possibilities and ethical considerations. This technology has the potential to improve success rates and reduce the emotional and financial burden of infertility. However, it also raises ethical and privacy concerns. This paper presents an overview of the current and potential applications of AI in human reproduction. It explores the use of AI in various aspects of reproductive medicine, including fertility tracking, assisted reproductive technologies, management of pregnancy complications, and laboratory automation. In addition, we discuss the need for robust ethical frameworks and regulations to ensure the responsible and equitable use of AI in reproductive medicine.
