Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to dramatically reshape healthcare and employment landscapes, with global in-vitro fertilization (IVF) costs expected to plummet and the remote work economy projected to hit $127 billion by 2030, according to tech industry experts.
A renowned AI strategist speaking at a global innovation forum highlighted that machine learning algorithms are increasingly being integrated into fertility clinics to optimize embryo selection, reduce procedural failures, and minimize treatment cycles. These advancements, the expert said, will likely cut IVF treatment expenses globally by as much as 30% within the next five years.
In the employment sector, AI-driven platforms are also transforming how work is conducted remotely. The expert noted that remote work technology, bolstered by intelligent automation, is fast becoming a dominant driver of the digital economy. With continued innovation in cloud infrastructure, virtual collaboration tools, and productivity analytics, the global remote work market is expected to expand from its current value of approximately $60 billion to $127 billion by the end of the decade.
Experts added that this shift will particularly benefit emerging economies like Nigeria, where businesses can now access global talent and reduce operational overheads. The twin impact of AI on personal healthcare and work flexibility is seen as a defining element of the global economic future.
