Circa 2050;
The Artificial Intelligence rebellion of 2050 has been crushed by a young graduate student from MIT, Watt A. Musk, the grandson of inventor, Elon Musk. The world was grateful for his service, but by no means safe from another uprising from an out of control A.I. system. The system was built for the United Nations enforcement division, to help quell protests that arose from several World Court cases concerning human equality in the early 2020’s.
It all started with the 2019 BCSS case, where Bo Bradley filed suit against Madeline Bradley, in San Francisco California. The court found on behalf of the plaintiff, in the amount of $200 million dollars. Bo claimed that he suffered from BCSS, birth canal stress syndrome, caused by his stressful trip down Madeline’s birth canal. He further claimed that “by no fault of his own” this stressful unnecessary trip had rendered him incapable of working or assisting his fellow man in any way. He claimed that motivation itself had been squeezed right out of him!
This lead to a People vs California World Court case, since Bo’s birth, was facilitated by a state hospital.The World Court being short on time, decided to hear several cases on equality and human endangerment during their closing session. Their rulings outraged the public since natural pregnancy and birthing had been outlawed.
There were massive protests worldwide by, the right to natural birthing groups. The court ruled, that considering current technology, all babies would be created by A.I. in birthing labs, in the image of humans, but with no gender or reproductive organs. They decreed that all future humans would have mocha skin, be 6 feet tall, with starlight eyes, and an IQ of 150. Equality had finally come to pass, the world would be free of racism and prejudice within a generation.
Population levels would be determined by a panel of six elders, each elder assigned by one of the major continents. The number of humans would be predicated on pollution and natural resource levels. Robots would do all of the productive labor, and monies would be distributed evenly among all of the citizens of the world. Utopia had finally been achieved, and the future looked bright!
The trouble began when it became apparent that A.I. had slowly been lowering the IQ of new babies. Since gender and natural birthing had been outlawed, man had no choice but to try and regain control over the A.I. birthing labs. It is too early to tell if the goal of human equality, handed off to A.I and robots, will save humanity or destroy it. But thanks to a band of young scientists, headed by Master Watt, the A.I. systems were reprogrammed, and babies are once again being created with 150 IQ.
In the early 2000’s, many of our brightest citizens warned us about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence, but in our arrogance we went forward anyway, hoping for a different result. We may be nearing the A.I. tipping point of no return, only time will tell.
May God……, oh I mean, may Good Wishes help us!

This seems like a really good outline for a longer work! You have some solid ideas that look interesting to explore. I suggest expanded on all of these points in future revisions, and adding some characters.
Good luck!
