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.
