A significant advance in fertility technology has resulted in the birth of the world’s first baby created nearly completely via a machine-supported IVF process. In conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), highly trained specialists manually inject sperm into eggs—a technique that can be affected by human fatigue and potential errors. Scientists at Conceivable Life Sciences in New York created a semi-automated platform that manages 23 stages of the ICSI procedure, with remote human oversight and AI assistance to identify and select the most viable sperm for injection.During testing, the system successfully fertilized five donor eggs, generating embryos that were compared to a control group fertilized manually. AI-based evaluation then identified the highest-quality embryos, and one ultimately led to a successful live birth.Although the innovation holds strong potential to enhance accuracy and consistency in fertility care, specialists emphasize that additional research and lower costs will be essential before it can be widely implemented.Source/Credit: Conceivable Life Sciences, New York City.
