WORLD’S FIRST AI-CONCEIVED BABY BORN IN MEXICO THROUGH FULLY AUTOMATED IVF SYSTEM

In an unprecedented scientific milestone, the world has welcomed the first baby conceived entirely through a fully automated, AI-powered IVF procedure. The breakthrough was achieved by Conceivable Life Sciences, a biotechnology firm operating in New York and Guadalajara, marking a revolutionary step in fertility medicine.

The procedure, known as AI-assisted intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), was conducted at Hope IVF Mexico in Guadalajara. The birth involved a 40-year-old mother using donor eggs after a failed IVF attempt. Of the five eggs treated by the automated system, four were successfully fertilised. One developed into a high-quality embryo and was implanted, resulting in the birth of a healthy baby boy.

Unlike traditional ICSI—which requires a trained embryologist to inject a sperm cell into an egg—the Conceivable system uses artificial intelligence and robotics to handle all 23 intricate steps of the process. The AI system not only selects, immobilises, and injects the sperm, but also performs the task with laser-guided accuracy and consistency that surpasses human capabilities.

Commands were issued remotely by embryologists in both Guadalajara and New York, allowing full digital control over the 115 micro-steps involved in fertilising the five eggs. Though slightly slower than manual methods due to its experimental nature, the technology is expected to improve in speed and efficiency over time.

Dr. Jacques Cohen, Chief Scientific Officer at Conceivable and a pioneer in embryology, emphasized the potential of the system to enhance IVF success rates and reduce stress on lab staff. Co-founder Dr. Alejandro Chavez-Badiola hailed it as the first technology to automate every single stage of ICSI.

While additional studies are needed to assess the system’s safety and efficacy at scale, this birth represents a turning point in reproductive health. Experts believe it could pave the way for more consistent, accessible, and effective fertility treatments globally.
