The intersection of technology and infertility: pioneering approaches in genetic editing and artificial intelligence
Abstract
Infertility, a global health concern, impacts millions of individuals and couples, entailing profound emotional and socio-economic consequences. Recent advances in genetic editing and artificial intelligence (AI) herald a new frontier in infertility treatment, offering precision, personalization, and enhanced efficacy. This compilation explores the integration of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) 9 gene editing and AI-driven diagnostics and treatment strategies in the context of reproductive medicine. Through a comprehensive review of current research, clinical applications, and ethical considerations, this paper highlights the transformative potential of these technologies while addressing the associated challenges. The synergy of genetic editing and AI not only promises to improve outcomes for individuals battling infertility but also raises important questions about accessibility, privacy, and ethical implications. By examining these developments, we aim to provide insights into the future of infertility treatments and the evolving landscape of reproductive medicine.
