Message from the scientific secretariat
The congress on “Insights into Infertility Management: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Challenges, and Prospects” will be held from December 11-13, 2024. The impetus to organize the congress stems from developments and evolutionary transformations in the methods of fertility treatment as well as the growth of AI and its various application in this domain. Therefore, the exchange of new findings between the stakeholders and the scientists of the field is a pressing requirement of the world. To address the challenge, we have planned to invite leading experts of infertility and AI to discuss on the various aspects of AI and its potential applications in infertility treatment procedures. Such intersections between the two above mentioned fields have already been observed in developed countries and we anticipate the emergence of the new technology in the forthcoming future.
Moreover, in tandem with familiarizing the attendees with new techniques of using AI in treatment, we will further our goals by introducing and inviting international guests and speakers to deliver their experiences and insights. Lastly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the board of directors at ARI and all the dedicated scientific and executive team members whose unstoppable diligence would truly amalgamate the magnificence and informativeness of the event.
