Virtual Children Could Help Combat Overpopulation, Says AI Expert

Virtual Children Could Help Combat Overpopulation, Says AI Expert: Catriona Campbell, an authority in the field of artificial intelligence, has proposed that the creation of virtual offspring could be one solution to the problem of overpopulation. Campbell made this prediction in her recently released book, “AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence.” Campbell believes that within the next fifty years, society will generally accept computer-generated babies. Because they would only live in the metaverse, an immersive digital world, and would only take a small number of resources to nurture, virtual children are an ecologically beneficial alternative to having actual children.
