Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse
A licensed vet approved every irreversible step and held a physical kill switch.
Given 19 gene therapy vectors and a mouse model of epilepsy, the agent chose a treatment and brain region with the goal of reducing seizures. It derived coordinates from three papers, controlled the stereotaxic arms and injected 250 nanolitres while monitoring the entry site for bleeding through a camera. The post does not report whether seizures were reduced.
