The right to medical care and healthcare in the field of reproductive technologies: artificial intelligence and artificial reproduction

The article examines the peculiarities of the right to medical care and healthcare in the field of reproductive technologies, outlining the application of artificial intelligence in artificial reproduction. It is noted that the role of artificial intelligence in legal relations and the resolution of issues concerning civil legal capacity has increased with the use of such technologies for medical purposes. In the medical field, measures are being implemented to improve the quality and longevity of life for Ukrainian citizens, including: the creation of a national healthcare system using AI, based on the analysis of clinical, genetic, and behavioral data; the implementation of AI technologies in the development of advanced real-time medical diagnostic systems (virtual consultants, cybernetic experts, etc.); the expansion of medicine into a broader AI-controlled social sphere that utilizes all forms of health data, including genomics, metadata, electronic medical records, and biometrics, to ensure public health; the introduction of AI-based patient interaction tools (chatbots, mobile devices, etc.); educating patients on making informed decisions, self-monitoring health status, and disease prevention through AI; prioritizing (ranking) patient groups based on risk levels and conducting proactive interventions using AI technologies; and researching social determinants of health and managing public health using AI.It is emphasized that artificial reproduction, where AI takes on the role of the “mother,” is becoming an interesting legal issue for researchers. It is noted that artificial motherhood is not legalized in all countries, and the absence of an international act, particularly recommendations, may lead to conflicts in resolving cross-border family law disputes in the future. The article concludes that the use of AI in artificial reproductive methods is gradually becoming a practice in medical institutions. The application of this technology will facilitate effective fertilization and, in the future, embryo gestation. Additionally, an AI-powered incubator with innovative technologies is being developed and gradually implemented in medicine. However, many important issues remain unresolved, including the civil legal capacity and legal responsibility of artificial intelligence.
