AI Helped an Infertile Couple Get Pregnant — This Is Absolutely Wild

Just read about a breakthrough that honestly gave me chills. A couple in the U.S. who had been struggling with infertility for years finally got pregnant—not through some new drug or surgery, but through AI. The guy had a super rare condition (azoospermia), basically zero visible sperm in samples. Normally, the only option is painful testicular surgery with no guarantee. But this new system, called STAR, developed at Columbia University, uses AI + high-res imaging to scan millions of frames and actually finds the hidden, healthy sperm. We’re talking about finding like 1 sperm in 8 million images. Traditional methods take 2 days—STAR does it in an hour, and even automates the extraction part without damaging the sperm. This isn’t just cool tech—it literally helped bring a child into the world where there was no hope before. I never thought I’d say this, but AI might be saving families now. Real-life miracle vibes. #Tech #AI #CoolTech
