Get ready for AI BABIES: New tech is boosting success rate of IVF abroad

Artificial intelligence technology can now single out the most promising embryo during IVF and boost the chance of pregnancy. The AI tech is already in use across Europe, Asia, and South America, and could be in the US'very soon', according to the Tel Aviv-based firm that pioneered the tech in Israel. The software detects the most viable embryos by scoring them based on features that correlate to different outcomes, such as genetic abnormalities or implantation, that can't be seen with the human eye. Clinics using the algorithm have reported a 30 percent increase in IVF success rates. IVF, or in vitro fertilization, entails removing an egg from a woman's ovaries and fertilizing it with male sperm in a laboratory.
