Like in 'The Matrix': Chinese scientists have created robotic wombs to raise children

Robotics and artificial intelligence can now help develop newborns with algorithms and artificial wombs, very similar to what we see in the cult movie The Matrix. USSAnews.

According to the southern communist newspaper China Morning Post, Chinese specialists in Suzhou have pioneered the development of the latest technological breakthrough. However, there are concerns about the ethical implications of raising people in a built environment.

The findings were published by the Suzhou scientists in the peer-reviewed Journal of Biomedical Engineering. An AI nanny could help grow human children in a "long-term embryo culture device," the researchers say.

This artificial uterus is a large machine with compartments for embryos. Babies will be fed as if they were in a real womb. The device is a chamber that will be filled with an optimized mixture of “nutrient fluids.”

A record of the embryo's health and "development potential" will be kept by the program throughout the development of the embryo.

It is unlikely that this will happen in the near future.

The new technology is currently being used to help develop animal embryos that are being developed in the lab. This is because experiments on human embryos older than two weeks are prohibited by international law.

Also, as the SMCP points out, surrogacy is illegal in China. Since artificial wombs effectively turn a hospital or laboratory into a mother under Chinese law, it is unlikely that this technology will be deployed there anytime soon.

However, the development of artificial queens is not a new concept. While not a new discovery, bringing technology into the mass production of humans and mixing it with AI is highly dystopian.

Of course, not everything is a hopeless dystopia.

Although the idea of ​​artificial development of human babies seems far-fetched, it has certain advantages. The process of having children inside people is long, drawn out and complex, and the new technology has the potential to help mothers who would like to have children but currently cannot. After all, birth rates around the world are falling at an alarming rate.

It's more like "when" than "if".

When artificial raising of children in a laboratory becomes available, it will allow women who are dangerous to give birth to have children.
