Welcome from the founders

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the 3rd World AI Fertility Conference.

Artificial intelligence is transforming fertility care, but its success depends on more than technology. It depends on collaboration.

This conference is unique because it brings together everyone needed to shape the future of AI in reproductive medicine. Embryologists, clinicians, nurses, regulators, patient advocates, robotic engineers, data scientists, inventors, investors and industry leaders are all in one room, united by a common goal: to bring the benefits of AI to healthcare responsibly, so patients truly benefit.

Our previous two conferences brought together invited global thought leaders and became catalysts for many of the conversations and collaborations driving AI in fertility today. This year, we are expanding that conversation.

Expect inspiring TED-style talks, insightful and honest panel discussions, practical solutions and opportunities to tackle the real barriers to AI implementation. Whether you are developing AI, evaluating it, regulating it or using it in clinical practice, your voice matters.

Thank you for joining us. Together, we can prepare for the future and shape it.

THE SOCIETY

The
AI Fertility Society

The AI Fertility Society (AIFS) is an independent, global professional organisation dedicated to the ethical, responsible and evidence-based integration of artificial intelligence and robotics into reproductive healthcare medicine.

Founded by leading clinicians, embryologists and AI researchers, we exist to discuss, promote and support technological progress in fertility care in a safe, transparent, equitable and clinically meaningful way.

Meet the Founders

Dr Nikica Zaninovic is an internationally recognised embryologist, scientist and innovator who has spent more than three decades advancing reproductive medicine. A pioneer in IVF laboratory practice and emerging technologies, he has helped shape many of the scientific advances that define modern fertility care. As Co-Founder of the World AI Fertility Society, he is passionate about bringing together the world’s leading experts to accelerate the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence and improve outcomes for patients everywhere.

Dr Cristina Hickman is a Clinical embryologist, entrepreneur and internationally recognised leader in artificial intelligence for reproductive medicine. With more than 26 years of experience, she is the Founder and CEO of Avenues, the world’s first fertility clinic to integrate AI technologies throughout the entire patient journey. Cristina has also been the Founder, Executive Director, Chief Clinical Officer or Chief Scientific Officer behind several of the pioneering AI technologies now transforming fertility care.

As Co-Founder of the World AI Fertility Society, her mission is to unite clinicians, scientists, engineers and innovators to responsibly harness AI, improving patient outcomes while shaping the future of reproductive healthcare.

THE CHALLENGE

Why ethical AI in fertility matters

AI is already here

Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in embryo selection, treatment personalisation, and laboratory decision-making.

Risk without leadership

Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in embryo selection, treatment personalisation, and laboratory decision-making.

Patients deserve clarity

Patients and clinicians need transparent, validated tools that improve outcomes without compromising safety or autonomy.

Global standards needed

A coordinated international voice is now required to shape consistent, evidence-based guidelines, validation frameworks and best practice.
