Arsiak Vartenian: I Went Through 6 Rounds of IVF, and Now AI Is Changing the Game – I Have Mixed Feelings

Arsiak Vartenian, Founder and Host of Smart Is The New Sexy, shared on LinkedIn:

“I went through 6 rounds of IVF.

Now AI is changing the game, and I have mixed feelings.

For years, I trusted doctors to help me make some of the biggest choices of my life.

Now, AI is being used to help doctors study embryos.

It can look at images and find patterns that may be hard for the human eye to see.

The hope?

To help doctors make better choices. And maybe help more families have a baby.

That sounds amazing.

But I keep coming back to one question:

Would I trust a machine to help choose which embryo gets a chance?

I know what it’s like to put all your hope into one tiny embryo.

To wait. To pray. To wonder if this will finally be the one.

And I know how much those choices mean.

I love that science keeps moving forward.

Of course I want more families to get their happy ending.

But I also want us to be careful. Because AI can make mistakes.

A machine can study an embryo, but it can’t understand what that embryo means to a family.

I hope the future of IVF brings better tools.

But I hope it never loses the human touch.

P.S. Would you trust AI to help make a choice this big?”
