If you give an AI agent a robotic arm, an injector, and a live mouse, it might perform brain surgery.
Key facts

- If you give an AI agent a robotic arm, an injector, and a live mouse, it might perform brain surgery
- Integrating AI models with real-world experiments can make the models more reliable, Santero says
- It’s why his team decided to connect an AI agent to a custom-built surgical setup used for performing brain injections on mice
Summary
Biotech founder Gabriel Ocana Santero recently did that using an agent to successfully carry out a brain injection procedure on a living mouse. Santero posted about the experiment on social media and tells WIRED he was interested in exploring what happens when AI agents are given direct access to lab equipment, rather than simply being asked to design experiments or analyze results. “We’ve realized that we need to connect these agents to a lab to get the maximum value from them,” he says. AI models are trained primarily on published scientific literature.
