Blastocyst selection through an interpretable artificial intelligence method versus traditional morphology grading: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial by Lei Chen, Yu Sun, Shanshan Wang, Chen Sun, Hang Liu, Guanqiao Shan, Haixiang Sun

“…Several artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been proposed to predict IVF outcomes from blastocyst images. However, the reasoning processes of these AI methods are uninterpretable, causing epistemic and ethical concerns that prevent their implementation in clinical practice. …”
