Can artificial intelligence match or even outperform experienced embryologists in embryo selection for IVF transfer? To explore this question, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of 82 IVF cycles comparing embryo selections by an embryologist and AI (iDAscore), analyzing pregnancy outcomes. Embryologist and AI agreed in 64.6% of cases. Pregnancy rates were 45.2% in concordant vs. 44.8% in discordant selections (p > 0.05). AI-based embryo selection aligns closely with human judgment and may aid IVF decision-making. Larger studies are needed to confirm clinical utility.
