Tireless Worker: First AI Nurse Begins Service in Taiwanese Hospitals - Jordan News
Daily tasks performed by Norabot include: Delivering medications Monitoring fetal health Guiding hospital visitors Transporting wound care supplies and educational materials to patients According to Foxconn, the robot can reduce nursing workloads by up to 30%. Shu-Fang Liu, Deputy Director of Nursing at Taichung Hospital, stated: "Having a robotic assistant reduces nurses' physical fatigue, limits frequent trips to supply rooms, and frees up more time to focus on patient care—especially during visiting hours or night shifts when staff is limited." The medical team is hopeful that future versions of Norabot will include more advanced features such as: Multilingual communication Facial recognition Physical assistance in moving or supporting patients
Liu expressed a vision where Norabot might help a single nurse conduct respiratory therapy for a patient with lung problems—replacing the need for two nurses and allowing more efficient use of human resources.

Sudan: At least 40 people die from cholera in a week
Published August 14th, 2025 - 02:37 GMT ALBAWABA- At least 40 people have died in Sudan's western Darfur region, amid the worst cholera outbreak in years in the country, which has been embroiled in a war for more than two years, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said today. "In addition to an all-out war, the people of Sudan are now suffering from the worst cholera outbreak the country has seen in years," the organization said in a statement. "In Darfur alone, MSF teams have treated more than 2,300 patients and recorded 40 deaths in the past week." Cholera is an acute diarrheal infection caused by the consumption of contaminated food or water, according to the World Health Organization, which considers it "an indicator of inequality and lack of social and economic development." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Ninja Theory is expanding Senua's Saga: Hellblade II with a new Enhanced update, releasing today. It introduces a new 'Very High' graphical preset to heighten immersion and image quality, along with a new Dark Rot game mode, developer commentary and an enhanced photo mode. Additionally, GeForce RTX 50 Series gamers can activate DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation to further accelerate frame rates at the highest resolutions and detail levels. While DLSS Frame Generation and DLSS Super Resolution multiplied frame rates by an average of 3x at 4K resolution and max settings upon release, this update pushes the gains even higher. With NVIDIA Reflex enabled, PC latency was reduced by up to 57%, making Senua's Saga: Hellblade II even more responsive when played on a GeForce RTX PC or laptop. Supraworld is a first-person Puzzle-Metroidvania that builds upon Supra Games' much-loved Supraland, Supraland Crash, and Supraland Six Inches Under. Supraworld lets players embody an apprentice of the solver's guild in a handcrafted toy world. Explore, solve puzzles, ignore the main quest, and much more across this vast, interconnected world. The game will support NVIDIA DLSS 4 from day one with Multi Frame Generation, DLSS Frame Generation, and DLSS Super Resolution when the game enters Early Access on August 15. If players would like to enhance image quality to the maximum, there's also support for NVIDIA Games and THQ Nordic recently released Titan Quest II into Early Access, and within a few days, over 300,000 copies were sold. In Titan Quest II, Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, is out of control. She is corrupting the Threads of Fate and condemning all those who oppose her to Eternal Punishment. Players take up their weapon of choice and face some of the most powerful forces in Greek mythology to stop Nemesis and free those that she has punished. At launch, Titan Quest II featured a full suite of DLSS 4 technologies, giving NVIDIA GeForce RTX gamers the definitive experience. DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation multiplies frame rates on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, DLSS Frame Generation accelerates performance on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, and DLSS Super Resolution boosts performance on all other GeForce RTX GPUs.

The semiconductors costing Nvidia, AMD dearly
BEIJING — US semiconductor giants Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices will pay the United States government 15 per cent of their revenue from selling artificial intelligence chips to China, according to media reports. Here is what you need to know about the chips and their role in the US-China tech war: Why are these chips so important? The chips in question, according to the reports, are Nvidia's "H20" chip and the "MI308" from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). The California-based companies developed these chips -- less powerful than their flagship models -- specifically for the Chinese market. They are significant as they are AI "accelerators", meaning that they are useful in carrying out demanding tasks and computation, said Dylan Loh, an assistant professor at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University. "This is obviously a key tool to expand the AI-hungry demands of countries and companies building out their AI tools," Loh told AFP. Previously, the United States had been restricting the export of such chips on national security grounds. The two chipmakers had warned in April of big financial losses connected to these earlier constraints. Nvidia expected the previous rules to cost it $5.5 billion, while AMD forecast it could sap as much as $800 million from the company's bottom line. Why are sales to China controversial? Nvidia and other US chip companies have lobbied against the tough restrictions in recent years on selling cutting-edge semiconductors to China. That pressure appeared to have paid off last month, when Nvidia said Washington had pledged to let the company sell the H20 chips to China. The policy reversal has "raised eyebrows", Loh said. "These chips and many other chips have a dual use nature which means it can be used to advance their military capabilities in various ways," he told AFP. This includes the possible use of these chips potentially by US forces in the event of a confrontation, Chong Ja Ian, an associate professor at the National University of Singapore, told AFP. Defending the policy change last month, US President Donald Trump's AI point person David Sacks told CNBC the H20 was a "deprecated chip" that is "not anywhere close to the state of the art". He said the reversal on the H20 came because Nvidia's Chinese rival Huawei was making "huge strides" and could potentially threaten Nvidia's market dominance. Sunday's reported deal is "unprecedented" though, Chong said. "They do suggest the cost of market access in an environment of more intense major power competition," he added. There could still be obstacles ahead for the chipmakers. US lawmakers have proposed plans to require Nvidia and other manufacturers of advanced AI chips to include built-in location tracking capabilities. On Thursday, Trump demanded that the new boss of US chip maker Intel resign "immediately", after a Republican senator raised national security concerns over his links to firms in China. What does China say? China has meanwhile sought to increase its self-reliance in the field of semiconductors. Nvidia is facing growing distrust in China, with state media on Sunday labelling the H20 chips as unsafe. "The US government's decision to allow Nvidia to export the H20 to China inevitably raises some troubling concerns," said YuyuanTantian, an outlet affiliated with state broadcaster CCTV. It is not a secure chip for China, not advanced, and not environmentally friendly, it added in an article on social media platform WeChat. Beijing's top internet regulator summoned Nvidia representatives in July to discuss "serious security issues" involving the H20. The Cyberspace Administration of China said it had asked Nvidia to "explain the security risks of vulnerabilities and backdoors in its H20 chips sold to China and submit relevant supporting materials". The statement noted that, according to US experts, location tracking and remote shutdown technologies for Nvidia chips "are already matured".
