Abstract

Within the field of assisted reproductive technology, artificial intelligence has become an attractive tool for potentially improving success rates. Recently, artificial intelligence-based tools for sperm evaluation and selection during intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) have been explored, mainly to improve fertilization outcomes and decrease variability within ICSI procedures. Although significant advances have been achieved in developing algorithms that track and rank single sperm in real-time during ICSI, the clinical benefits these might have in improving pregnancy rates from a single assisted reproductive technology cycle remain to be established.
