China’s First AI Hospital -- Is This the Future of Healthcare?
China has officially launched the world’s first AI hospital, developed at Tsinghua University. Known as Agent Hospital, it started with 14 AI doctors and now includes over 40 across 21 specialties, trained on hundreds of conditions and half a million synthetic cases. These AI doctors can handle 10,000 patients with 93% accuracy in days.

This isn’t just theory, AI is already being piloted at Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital, supporting diagnostics, workflows, and even patient experience design. On the other side, DeepSeek AI, an open-source medical LLM, is now deployed in over 260 hospitals across China, helping with pathology, triage, and clinical decision support.
The bigger picture? China is pouring $1.4 trillion into AI by 2030 and positioning healthcare as a key priority.
But the rise of “AI doctors” raises tough questions:
Can AI safely make medical decisions?
Will rural and underfunded hospitals get left behind?
How will regulations adapt to non-human practitioners?
What do you think? Are AI hospitals a revolutionary step toward accessible healthcare, or are we rushing too fast into untested territory?
