Chinese scientists create AI nanny to look after babies in artificial womb
  • Researchers in Suzhou have developed an AI system able to monitor and take care of embryos as they grow into fetuses in the lab
  • Technology won’t be a problem for its future application, but legal and ethical concerns might, warns Beijing-based researcher

An artificial womb for fetuses to safely grow in, and a robotic nanny to monitor and take care of them.

All within the realm of possibility, say Chinese scientists, in what could be a breakthrough for the future of childbearing in a country facing its lowest birth rates in decades.

That is, once the law allows the use of such technology.

Researchers in Suzhou, in China’s eastern Jiangsu province, say they have developed an artificial intelligence system that can monitor and take care of embryos as they grow into fetuses in an artificial womb environment.
