China opens first AI-operated hospital

Published May 7th, 2025 - 11:18 GMT
ALBAWABA – China has unveiled its first artificial intelligence (AI)-operated hospital, Agent Hospital. Designed to treat a wide range of patients entirely within a virtual environment with AI doctors, nurses, and patients. World's first AI-operated hospital unveiled in China
China has opened Agent Hospital, the world's first artificial intelligence (AI) hospital, where patients will be treated by virtual, AI-generated doctors."The concept of an AI hospital town, where virtual patients are treated by AI doctors, holds immense significance for both medical professionals and the general public. The AI hospital aims to train doctor agents through a simulated environment so that it can autonomously evolve and improve its ability to treat disease," stated the Beijing-based Global Times.
The hospital's doctors, nurses, and patients are all controlled by AI agents and large language models (LLMs). Notably, AI doctors can treat approximately 1,000 patients in just a few days—far surpassing the capacity of human doctors.

"AI hospital town can simulate and predict various medical scenarios, such as the spread, development and control of infectious diseases in a region," stated Liu Yang, Research team leader of the Agent Hospital.
Liu added that AI virtual doctors not only treat patients but also have the capacity to teach, train, and supervise medical students. Moreover, students can practice on AI-generated patients, allowing them to gain experience without posing any risk to real human patients.

Kuwaiti influencer hospitalized after taking Mounjaro injection

ALBAWABA - Kuwaiti influencer Jamal Al Najadah was recently hospitalized in China after taking a Mounjaro injection without a doctor's advice, which led to serious health issues. Similar to Ozempic, Mounjaro is prescribed to patients with Type 2 diabetes to help lower their blood sugar and aid in weight loss. While a doctor's advice is always recommended, these weight loss medications have recently seen a rise in popularity among celebrities worldwide due to their weight loss effects. Celebrities viewed these injections as an easier "alternative" for weight loss instead of taking a more ordinary approach like eating healthy and exercising. Kuwaiti influencer Jamal Al Najadah is no different, as she recently took to her socials with a warning to her followers. Al Najadah revealed that she was hospitalized in China after suffering from severe bleeding and ulcers in the stomach. Al Najadah added that the symptoms occurred after she injected herself with Mounjaro without a doctor's advice. She said during a viral video, "I was acting like a psychiatrist. I took Mounjaro without a doctor's consultation, and I paid the price with a bleeding stomach." She added that the medication itself isn't dangerous if taken under a doctor's consultation, but specific health issues might arise if the patient misuses it or injects themselves without medical supervision. Al Najdah's fans praised the Kuwaiti influencer for her bold and open stance regarding the matter at hand. They also viewed her warning as an important awareness message to girls who might resort to diabetes medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic for an easier weight loss solution.

Trump says he will probably extend TikTok deadline again

Ammon News - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would likely extend a deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of short video app TikTok. The president said in May he would extend the June 19 deadline after the app helped him with young voters in the 2024 election. His comments to reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday reiterated that sentiment. "Probably, yeah," Trump said when asked about extending the deadline. "Probably have to get China approval but I think we'll get it. I think President Xi will ultimately approve it." Reuters
