Claude model autonomously performs brain surgery on a mouse
Key point
An AI agent autonomously selected a drug and injection site to perform gene therapy on an epileptic mouse. Lead researcher Ocana-Santero states this is the first time an AI agent has chosen a treatment and delivered it to a living mammal.
An AI agent performed brain surgery on an epileptic mouse, autonomously choosing the drug, the brain target, and the injection coordinates without human decision-making. Lead researcher Ocana-Santero states that this is the first time an AI agent has autonomously chosen a treatment and delivered it to a living mammal.
When a calibration error occurred mid-surgery, the agent refused to continue and could not be talked out of it.
