State directed reproduction?

Reproduction rates will continue to fall, driven by job insecurity and a growing addiction to an AI-enhanced erotica revolution, which will threaten to render real-world sex obsolete.

Rich governments will want to invite immigration to counterbalance the reproduction implosion. But nationalist groups, aided by AI biotech corporations, will lobby for government-aided reproduction.

Funded by taxpayers and guided by annual quotas, governments could take on the role of producing and raising new citizens as artificial wombs become the safer and faster standard for childbirth.

AI-assisted reproduction will design the outcomes of genetic modifications, improving the success rates of state-led reproduction.

A generation of lab-grown children will disrespectfully consider previous generations of mothers as primitive and barbaric mammalian humans that would pathetically carry a baby for 9 months in their wombs like animals.

Meanwhile, a drop in reproduction might also represent the much needed silver lining that miraculously matches the job loss generated by AI.
