- After 18 years of struggling with azoospermia, an American couple successfully conceived their first child in March through a novel AI-assisted technique developed at the Columbia University Fertility Center.

- The successful pregnancy demonstrates AI's potential to aid couples facing rare male infertility and may expand access to fertility treatments beyond current centers.
