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.

YouTube has launched a new free-to-watch documentary series about artificial intelligence fronted by "Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr. The YouTube Original series debuted on the platform on Wednesday, and is called "The Age of AI." Its stated aim is to demystify misconceptions around AI. One of the main focuses of the first episode is a New Zealand-based company called Soul Machines, which specialises in making digital avatars. Its founder Mark Sagar is an award-winning visual effects artist who's worked on films like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Avatar." Sagar is working on a project he calls "Baby X," in which he is using AI to simulate a human baby, modelled after his own daughter.

YouTube has premiered a Robert Downey Jr-fronted series that seeks to demystify artificial intelligence. The documentary - produced by the actor in partnership with his wife Susan - is one of the platform's highest profile and biggest-budgeted factual commissions to date. The Avengers star is expected to give the Age of AI mass appeal. One AI expert said there was "lots of eye candy for viewers with short attention spans". Calum Chace, author of four books on the subject, added that artificial intelligence is a "large, complex, and important" subject. And he noted that YouTube - whose parent company Google is a huge investor and user of related technologies - had engaged with some of its controversies.

Conceptual sound artist and composer Holly Herndon released her new artificial intelligence-inspired album PROTO today. PROTO, Hedron's fourth album, was a collaboration between Herndon and a sophisticated machine-learning program called "Spawn" -- her "AI baby." For the track "Godmother," Herndon collaborated with artist Jlin to have Spawn regurgitate electronic beats creating an eerie nightmarish beatboxing sound. The official video for a different track called "Eternal" brings in the visual aspects of AI. It was "constructed from footage processed from the perspective of an intelligent machine, analyzing and searching for a face, yearning for a connection," according to a press release at the time.

At Soul Machines, a company that uses artificial intelligence to create lifelike avatars that respond to human emotion, a fair amount of their work could be considered unsettling to the average person who fears the coming takeover by our AI-robot overlords. It's a company that pretty much lives in the uncanny valley, that space between fake and real that can creep people out, but that's not usually what happens when people meet BabyX, said Soul Machines founder Mark Sagar. Instead, he says, when the baby begins to whimper or cry, some respond in human ways, demonstrating what appears to be sympathy similar to the kind they may lavish on a human baby. "I'll probably get about 10 or 15 percent of people respond with'that's creepy,' and others it doesn't bother them at all. Ultimately it's about creating an emotional connection and then people jump right into that," he said. To see which of these two camps you fall into, watch the video below.

Mike Sagar built detailed simulations of body parts for movies like "Avatar" and "King Kong." Now he's trying to build a simulated brain. His program combines his hyper-realistic biological models with artificial intelligence programs, in an attempt to simulate human consciousness. This footage comes from Bloomberg's new show "Hello World."
