Abstract
Background and aims: The exploration of Mars presents significant challenges for human reproduction, primarily due to cosmic radiation and microgravity. This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can address these reproductive barriers in space, particularly on Mars, and outlines new possibilities for reproductive medicine in the era of space exploration. Method: The present research was a review studyand analytical approach, the related articles of which were extracted from Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, SID, Magiran databases without time limit. The inclusion criteria included studies that were in line with the research objective. Results: The Martian environment, with its low gravity, harmful radiation, and limited resources, poses serious threats to reproductive health, including DNA damage to sex cells, increased risks of infertility, miscarriage, and potential adverse effects on fetal development. AI, with its machine learning, data processing, and modeling capabilities, can be crucial in predicting, preventing, and treating these issues. This includes analyzing astronaut data for early detection of fertility issues, improving the success rates of ART such as IVF by optimizing embryo selection and treatment protocols, creating virtual models of embryo growth in Martian conditions, and potentially managing artificial wombs. Conclusion: AI holds significant promise as a pivotal technology for enabling human reproduction on Mars, with implications for both space exploration and terrestrial reproductive medicine. However, realizing this potential necessitates addressing technical and ethical challenges related to data privacy, security, and ethical dilemmas surrounding embryo selection and genetic editing, requiring international collaboration, ongoing research, and careful ethical consideration.
