Abstract

This chapter aims to explore the feasibility of applying AI to help resolve issues stemming from the sociolegal realities of pregnant persons in India, by first examining the legal regime of the country when it comes to guaranteeing reproductive agency and reproductive wellbeing, and by then discussing the various barriers that exist for pregnant persons seeking abortions. While some of these barriers are legal, many more are social or economic in nature and are direct contributors to high maternal mortality rates. In a society where patriarchal attitudes, illiteracy, and poor healthcare infrastructure coincide, AI might well be the tool that emerges to overcome these barriers and help guarantee women's wellbeing and reproductive agency. The chapter will focus specifically on the myriad ways in which AI can help enhance the reproductive agency and wellbeing of women and persons with active uteruses.
