‘AI babies’ are being conceived in ‘previously impossible’ ways — all about the new IVF tech

Key points
- STAR found eight sperm.
- Columbia’s system scans millions of images fast, rescuing rare sperm humans miss.
- Klinefelter and azoospermia cases get a new shot.
- OvaReady and Aura push AI deeper into IVF labs, beyond embryo selection.
- The upside is real, but human error and AI error both matter.
