Startup uses AI agent to perform controversial brain surgery on a mouse, Anthropic Sonnet controlled motorized surgery rig
Biotech startup Exin Therapeutics claims its AI agent successfully performed brain surgery on a mouse, using Anthropic Sonnet to choose a gene therapy vector, dosage, and target region before driving robotic arms to inject the medication. A licensed veterinarian oversaw the operation, performing the craniotomy and holding a physical kill switch. An earlier attempt using a more advanced Anthropic model reportedly failed because the model refused to conduct a live biological experiment. Open article →
