| [FoxNews] Sperm Tracking and Recovery (STAR) method uses AI to identify viable sperm in men who struggle with infertility. Huh? AI-powered in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is the newest application for artificial intelligence, as labs and health centers around the world have adopted the new technology. This includes Columbia University Fertility Center in New York. The fertility center also developed a robot to assist in the IVF lab, preparing specialized plates to sustain embryos. Research published in the journal Fertility and Sterility found that this robot is 10 times more precise in preparing these embryo culture plates than humans. Dr. Zev Williams, director of Columbia University Fertility Center, said in a statement to Fox News Digital that these technologies have been "truly transformative" for patients. "There are literally babies being conceived because of our innovations who otherwise could not have been," he said. "We're offering tangible solutions to couples who have struggled with infertility for years, even decades." AI IN ACTION Two other companies, Overture Life in California and Conceivable Life in New York, have developed AI-powered robotics to carry out IVF processes. Conceivable Life CEO Alan Murray told Fox News Digital how the company's AURA AI-powered IVF technology brings "robotics precision" to a delicate process. "IVF requires extraordinary precision, but human hands introduce variability, no matter how skilled," he said. The AI technology "automates everything," Murray said, including sperm selection, egg preparation, sperm injection, embryo culture and egg freezing. |
