The world’s first child is born using a fully automated IVF system aided by Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help fertilization.

This system changes the traditional manual process of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a common method used in IVF where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg.

The ICSI has been used since the 1990s and usually requires a skilled fetalist to perform by hand. According to the study, manual skills and variability in fatigue are known as limiting factors.

However, this new system can now carry out all 23 stages of the ICSI process without human hands, through AI or remote digital control.

The achievement published in the Breeding Biomedicin online magazine showed an automated system created by a team of experts of comprehensive life sciences in New York and Guidaljara, Mexico, led by fetalist Dr. Conducted under the leadership of Jacques Cohen.

The male child was born in Hope IVF Mexico in Gwadaljara.

A 40 -year -old woman, who was under IVF treatment with donor eggs after a previous unsuccessful attempt, became pregnant using this new automatic process.

Of the five eggs which were fertilized using the system, four were successfully fertilized.

A fetus developed in a healthy blastocyst, frozen and later moved, leading to the birth of a healthy child.

The automatic system handled every part of the sperm injection process, including selecting sperm with AI, stabilizing it with a laser, and injecting it into eggs – all with greater speed and accuracy than a human.

Dr. “This new system can change the method of IVF. It provides more stability, reduces stress for lab staff, and even improves egg survival.”

Overall, this process posed 9 minutes and 56 seconds per egg – slightly longer than standard manual ICSI due to its experimental nature. However, Professor Mendijabal-Rise said that the future versions would be very fast.

Dr. Chavez-Badiola said that this system is the first to automate every phase of the ICSI process, including sperm selection using AI.

He said that more patients would require more studies to confirm its safety and effectiveness, but the birth of this child is a big step towards completely automated IVF.

Automation is already being used in other areas of IVF, such as fetal monitoring, cold and sperm preparation. This latest advancement can bring even more accuracy and standardization for future breeding treatment.
