In today's rapidly advancing technology, artificial intelligence is infiltrating every aspect of our lives at an unprecedented speed, and the medical field is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one. Recently, it was reported by the media that the first "AI hospital" Agent Hospital created by the team of Tsinghua University Intelligent Industry Research Institute is undergoing internal testing and will be officially launched at the end of the year, and will be open to the public in the first half of next year. The AI virtual hospital simulates the facilities and processes of a real hospital. Currently, the 42 AI doctors built are distributed in 21 departments such as pediatrics and otolaryngology, covering more than 300 diseases The relevant person in charge stated that the massive number of patients is the key to helping AI doctors evolve. In the real world, cultivating an outstanding specialist requires accumulating thousands of case experiences and at least 5-10 years of clinical experience. But in virtual hospitals, it only takes a few days to complete. "In our vision, with the continuous self evolution of AI doctors, they will be able to intervene in real medical application scenarios in the future, assisting human doctors in completing the vast majority of their work. This is also the most concerned application landing direction in the field of smart healthcare." This is not the first artificial intelligence hospital in China. In August of this year, Shanghai Weiyi Artificial Intelligence Hospital became the first "crab eater". Internationally, the construction of AI hospitals is also flourishing, and countries are increasing their investment in the field of AI healthcare to promote innovation and development of medical technology. The strength of AI hospitals lies in their deep integration and application of advanced technologies. Whether through the collection, analysis, and learning of massive medical data, uncovering disease patterns and diagnostic knowledge hidden behind the data, in order to provide personalized health risk assessment and accurate treatment plans for patients; Breaking the limitations of geography and time to alleviate the problem of uneven distribution of medical resources; Artificial intelligence has great potential in assisting human doctors in completing a large number of tedious daily tasks, improving the efficiency and quality of medical services. But healthcare is not just a pile of technology, but also a manifestation of emotional transmission and care. Although AI doctors can quickly and accurately diagnose diseases, and even demonstrate a certain degree of empathy and compassion through pre-set programs and scripts, whether they can provide true emotional support and human warmth when facing patients' emotions such as fear and anxiety is not only a technical issue, but also an ethical consideration. At the same time, whether the emotional connection between patients and doctors can be established is also one of the factors that determine whether a medical process can proceed smoothly. Whether the decision-making process of AI doctors is transparent, interpretable, and traceable, and whether they have gained sufficient trust and acceptance, the answers to these questions still need time to settle. What is the essence of practicing medicine? People often use the words of Dr. Trudeau from over a hundred years ago to explain, 'Sometimes to heal, often to help, always to comfort.'. In this sense, no matter how advanced artificial intelligence develops, AI doctors will never be a substitute for human doctors. In the future healthcare system, AI doctors will serve as capable assistants to human doctors, jointly providing patients with more efficient and convenient medical services, while human doctors will demonstrate their unique value in complex case diagnosis, patient psychological support, and ultimate decision-making. Only under such a mechanism of division of labor and cooperation can we hope to build an efficient and compassionate medical system, allowing medical technology and humanistic spirit to shine brighter in mutual integration.
