Researchers at Monash University have raised concerns that artificial intelligence is being used in Australian fertility clinics without adequate ethical oversight, potentially eroding public trust in these facilities.

This raises bioethical concerns about the potential for unintended bias and the dehumanising effect on parents and babies.
