Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus for predicting a success or failure of differentiation of cells on the basis of a captured image obtained by imaging a cell population cultured in a cell-culture container includes at least one processor. The at least one processor extracts a feature quantity based on an appearance of the cells by performing image processing on the captured image, and predicts the success or failure of differentiation of the cells on the basis of the extracted feature quantity.
