World’s First Baby Conceived with AI-Enabled IVF Technique Born in Mexico

MXMexico|

A significant milestone in reproductive technology has been achieved with the birth of the world's first child conceived through an AI-assisted in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique. The groundbreaking procedure took place in Guadalajara, Mexico, where a 40-year-old woman received treatment utilizing a sperm-injecting robot, while specialized medical professionals monitored the process remotely from Hudson, New York, according to Live Science.

This innovative method, known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), employed artificial intelligence to optimize sperm selection and assess embryo viability. During the trial, five eggs were fertilized, resulting in four embryos. Although the initial embryo did not implant, a subsequent attempt led to the successful birth of a son.

The machine, developed by New York-based Conceivable Life Sciences, carries out the ICSI process with 23 precision steps, potentially minimizing human error and enhancing the overall success rate of IVF treatments. Experts note that this technological breakthrough could make IVF more accessible and affordable, offering hope to countless families experiencing fertility challenges. Further studies are needed to ensure the comprehensive safety and effectiveness of this automated system.

Seven Youths Killed in Shooting at Church Festivity in Mexico

Seven young men were shot dead during a Catholic Church festivity in San Bartolo de Berrios, Guanajuato, on Monday morning. Eyewitnesses reported that gunmen opened fire randomly on a group of attendees remaining in the village's central square after the event. The shooting, which erupted around 1:30 a.m., is believed to be linked to the ongoing conflict between rival drug cartels in the region, particularly the Santa Rosa de Lima cartel, as indicated by threatening messages left at nearby locations, according to local officials. The attack is alarming, as assaults typically target nightclubs and bars rather than religious gatherings. The Episcopal Conference of Mexico condemned the violence, calling it a reflection of the "spiral of violence" affecting communities. Archbishop Jaime Calderón attributed the incident to territorial disputes between cartels, noting Guanajuato recorded 2,597 homicides in 2024, the highest in Mexico. This incident underscores the dangerous environment in the state, where gangs also engage in fuel theft to fund their operations. No arrests have been reported so far.
