US EditionAI Tools Help Choose Best Embryos for IVF
The American Hospital of Paris tests AI from Israeli start-up AIVF to halve IVF cycles and improve embryo selection with a 70% accuracy in ruling out genetic abnormalities.
- The American Hospital of Paris is testing an AI embryo-assessment tool from Israeli start-up AIVF, with clinicians retaining final decision authority to support embryo selection.
- To cut costly cycles, clinicians argue the AI will reduce IVF attempts by ruling out embryos likely to miscarry and use failed IVF attempts data to improve success.
- Using time-lapse imaging, the system films embryo development, recording shape, symmetry and cell division, while AIVF says it offers a 70-percent probability the recommended embryo lacks genetic abnormalities.
- Ethicists and clinicians caution that patients should be informed and allowed to opt out of AI embryo selection, while Anne-Claire Lepretre says algorithms are tested and a 2024 review urges scrutiny but not rejection.
- Beyond embryo ranking, AI could optimize timing and dosage of hormone injections and aid sperm-finding in low samples, but researchers urge caution and call for more markers beyond morphology.

AI Tools Help Choose Best Embryos for IVF
Artificial intelligence tools can now help choose the most promising embryos for in vitro fertilisation (IVF), although experts have warned of some ethical concerns. AI Tools Help Choose Best Embryos for IVF Procedures such as IVF allow millions of children to be born across the world each year to parents who have otherwise struggled to conceive. However the success rate of the procedure, which involves creating an embryo by fertilising an egg w…
Paris, France. Advances in artificial intelligence open new expectations in assisted reproduction, from identifying the embryo with more possibilities, to improving responses to hormonal treatments, and even reducing access times. Almost half a century after the birth of the first child conceived by in vitro fertilization in 1978, "artificial intelligence is here to help us better select embryos, in any case to better determine their potential f…
