Can AI design fully autonomous systems to regulate human population size ?

Technocratic governance systems are exploring algorithmic approaches to demographic control. AI could analyze genetic, behavioral, and environmental data to determine optimal population levels. The ethical implications of delegating this power to machines are profound and irreversible.
Modern AI systems cannot design fully autonomous systems to regulate human population size in an ethically acceptable or technically reliable way. There are no known algorithms or architectures capable of making autonomous life-and-death decisions at societal scale without violating human rights, ethical norms, or international law. Current AI is used in limited contexts for modeling population dynamics or public health, but it remains under strict human oversight and subject to democratic accountability. Any attempt to delegate such regulation to fully autonomous AI would raise profound ethical, legal, and safety concerns that remain unresolved.
