Welcome to the AI Fertility Society

The AIFS (AI Fertility Society) aims to raise debate, push human interest and help shape the growth and development of Augmented Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, big data systems and future tech in the field of human reproduction.

As a society, we will continue to have biennial in-person conferences. In the interim year, we will aim for a virtual conference. We are currently planning the next in-person conference coming this September 2024, nestled in the grounds of one of Croatia’s most impressive national parks.

The AIF Society is the place to learn and explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on human fertility treatment across the world.
