Gabriel Ocana-Santero says an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse model of epilepsy. According to his account, the agent selected a drug from 19 gene therapy vectors, chose the brain region, derived coordinates from three papers, and then drove a stereotaxic arm to inject 250 nanoliters into the brain, while monitoring via a device camera whether there was bleeding at the needle entry site. Every irreversible step was overseen by a licensed veterinarian, who also held a physical emergency stop switch capable of halting the agent. Ocana-Santero said a long post will follow explaining what decisions the agent made, what it saw, and the moment it refused his intervention. There are currently no further evidence-supported developments.
