May 5, 2015 at 13:47 comment added Joel David Hamkins @Hachino In that case, it works if and only if $I$ is a well-order, and I have edited my answer to explain it.
May 5, 2015 at 12:18 comment added Hachino @JoelDavidHamkins : And if you drop the assumption when $\beta$ is the least element ? Like when you require $\left ( \bigcup_{k < n }A_k \right )\cap A_n\neq \emptyset$ for $n \geq 1$ instead of $n \geq 0$ ? (The whole family is $(A_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$.)
May 5, 2015 at 12:00 comment added Joel David Hamkins The hypothesis as stated is impossible for a well-ordered set, since if $\beta$ is the least element, then $\bigcup_{\alpha<\beta}A_\alpha$ is itself empty.

May 5, 2015 at 11:16 comment added 4869 And the order on the index set should not be well-ordered,or it is obvious as the countable one.
May 5, 2015 at 11:14 comment added 4869 It is an open problem. You can add some conditions
May 5, 2015 at 10:12 comment added Joonas Ilmavirta Some details seem to be missing. Are the sets $A_\alpha$ subsets of a Euclidean (or another fixed topological) space? You seem to have an order on the index set, is it well-ordered or of some other special type?
