Abstract

From where and when did the interest of humanity in the future arise? Initially, the answer is in the records of ideas and imagination of several futuristic writers who anticipated the transition the world is going on. Among the futuristic works, the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a classic. Although Huxley wrote it more than 90 years ago, the book approaches questions and aspects of the future challenges of humanity. The hypothetical universe of Huxley makes comparisons with the “transformations” that the world has gone through for decades. Artificial pregnancy - “in vitro fertilization” - was a provocative and extraordinary work during that period, considering that the first test tube baby was born 40 years after it. That is the reason for the questioning: Romance or science fiction? Are we experiencing the prophecies made by Huxley and his precursors? What will be the limits and challenges with the advances of artificial intelligence (AI)? The intelligent use of AI is a way to create development opportunities.
