What if a robot helped bring your baby into the world?
For one couple in Mexico, that’s not sci-fi—it’s science fact.
In a world-first, a 40-year-old woman has given birth to a healthy baby boy thanks to an IVF breakthrough powered by artificial intelligence.
That’s right—AI didn’t just help, it ran the show.
Normally, IVF relies on a highly skilled embryologist to inject sperm into an egg—a procedure known as ICSI.
But as Jacques Cohen from Conceivable Life Sciences puts it, “People get tired. They get distracted. Mistakes happen.”
What Happens?
Enter the AI-powered machine: a tech marvel that handles all 23 steps of the procedure.
From picking the best sperm (yes, it judges them) to zapping their tails for easier injection, it does it all.
Professor Gerardo Mendizabal-Ruiz, the mastermind behind the tech, says it performs “with a level of accuracy beyond human capability.”
The process took just under 10 minutes. And after one failed try, the second embryo transfer led to a successful birth.
Sure, it’s pricey now—but experts hope it’ll become more accessible over time.
For now, it’s a jaw-dropping glimpse into the future of fertility.
So next time someone says AI can’t make miracles, just tell them: it already has.
