AI Claude Performed Neurosurgery on a Mouse Brain

The AI agent Claude performed neurosurgery on a mouse

The Sonnet 5 model, powered by the AI agent Claude, performed neurosurgery on a mouse, independently selecting the drug and injection trajectory. The experiment demonstrated the effectiveness of autonomous solutions in medicine.

Operation control was handled by the Sonnet 5 model. It had access to 19 genetic drugs and a specialized surgical setup based on Arduino.

• The agent independently analyzed scientific publications to select the optimal injection site.
• Data from cameras was used for spatial orientation during the procedure.
• A human performed part of the manipulations, while a veterinarian monitored the process with the ability to intervene in an emergency.

The experiment was successful: the administered drug improved the mouse's condition. This event demonstrates AI moving beyond the digital environment and mastering tasks previously considered exclusively human.
