"Upstream" with Erik Torenberg

CHAPTER

Future Underpopulation and AI Impact

This chapter explores a speculative future where the global population dwindles to 80 million, leading to a society reliant on repurposing existing resources. It examines the implications of declining birth rates, the potential role of artificial intelligence, and innovative solutions to increase fertility, especially in aging populations. The discussion also reflects on historical contexts and cultural differences that shape reproductive choices and societal attitudes towards underpopulation.
