China Unveils World’s First AI Hospital: 14 Virtual Doctors Ready to Treat Thousands Daily

by

China has unveiled the world’s first fully AI-powered hospital, marking a radical shift in the future of healthcare.

Developed by Tsinghua University in Beijing, the “Agent Hospital” features 14 AI doctors and 4 AI nurses that can diagnose, treat, and manage up to 3,000 patients per day, without any human staff.

  • Faster, smarter care: What would take human doctors 3 years, the AI doctors can do in 1 day.
  •  High IQ bots: These AI agents scored a 93.06% pass rate on the US Medical Licensing Exam.
  • Training without risk: The virtual hospital allows medical students to practice in a fully simulated, no-risk environment.

How it works

The hospital uses multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to simulate real-time interactions with patients, handle diagnoses, prescribe treatments, and monitor disease progression, all digitally. 

It also includes predictive capabilities that can simulate how diseases spread, potentially helping officials prepare for future pandemics.

While it’s still in the research phase, Agent Hospital points to a future where AI could alleviate overburdened healthcare systems, provide round-the-clock care in underserved areas, and revolutionize medical education.

The technology must still clear regulatory and ethical hurdles, but the direction is clear: the AI doctor will see you now.

Katy Perry Didn’t Attend the Met Gala, But AI Made Her the Star of the Night

by

Another year, another viral deepfake of Katy Perry at the Met Gala and once again, she wasn’t even there.

Photos showing the pop star in a sleek black designer gown circulated widely on social media during Monday night’s event, matching the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme. But the images were AI-generated. Perry quickly clarified she was not at the Met; she was on tour.

Perry’s reaction

“Couldn’t make it to the MET, I’m on The Lifetimes Tour (see you in Houston tomorrow IRL),” she posted to Instagram alongside the fake images.

She added a jab at AI confusion: “P.s. this year I was actually with my mom so she’s safe from the bots… but I’m praying for the rest of y’all.”

The repeat hoax

This marks the second year in a row Perry has gone viral for an AI-generated Met Gala look. In 2024, a fabricated image of her in a floral ball gown fooled thousands, including her own mother.

These deepfakes are getting harder to spot. A fake post claiming Perry wore a never-before-seen Mugler fabric went viral with over 400K views and was even falsely credited to Getty Images.

The spread of believable AI-generated content is becoming a growing concern, especially as it dupes not just fans, but family.

AI is now dressing celebrities for events they don’t attend, and millions are still falling for it.

Perry continues her “Lifetimes Tour” with her next stop in Houston. Meanwhile, the internet keeps grappling with what’s real and what’s algorithm.

Are deepfakes becoming the new celebrity PR?

Therapists Too Expensive? Why Thousands of Women Are Spilling Their Deepest Secrets to ChatGPT

by

More women are turning to ChatGPT for emotional support, using the AI chatbot as a stand-in therapist as mental health systems buckle under pressure. With long wait times and soaring costs, AI is filling a growing gap.

Mental health care is harder to access than ever. In the UK, NHS data shows patients are eight times more likely to wait over 18 months for mental health treatment than for physical health. Private therapy isn’t always an option either, with sessions costing £60 or more.

In that vacuum, ChatGPT has become a surprising outlet.

Real voices, real feelings

Charly, 29, from London, turned to ChatGPT while grappling with her grandmother’s terminal illness:

“It’s been so helpful to ask the crass, the gruesome, the almost cruel questions about death… the things I feel twisted for wanting to understand.”

Ellie, 27, from South Wales, said it helped her feel seen when no one else was around:

“It didn’t have full context to my life like my therapist does, but it was accessible and non-judgmental in times of crisis.”

Julia, 30, in Munich, used it when her therapist was booked up. The responses felt similar to a therapy app:

“I was surprised at how good the answers were… but it was too practical. My therapist challenges me. ChatGPT didn’t do that.”

What AI can and can’t do

ChatGPT offers instant, always-available support. It’s private, non-judgmental, and often comforting. But it lacks emotional nuance, lived context, and the tough questioning that drives real therapeutic growth.

AI isn’t a replacement for trained professionals, but for many women stuck in limbo, it’s become a digital lifeline.

The bigger issue? People are asking robots for empathy because the human systems keep failing them.

WhatsApp Warning: UK Parents Scammed Out of £500K by AI That Pretends to Be Their Kids

by

A wave of AI-powered scams is sweeping across WhatsApp, costing UK families nearly half a million pounds in 2025 alone and it’s only May.

Cybercriminals are now combining old tricks with new tech. In the evolving “Hi Mum” scam, fraudsters impersonate a loved one over WhatsApp and ask for emergency cash.

The twist

They’re now using AI-generated voice messages to mimic children’s voices, making the deception frighteningly convincing.

“Scammers are increasingly getting better at manipulating people… cloning any voice is now simple, even in a matter of moments,”says Jake Moore, global cybersecurity advisor at ESET.

By the numbers:

  • 506 WhatsApp scams since Jan 2025
  • Victims lost £490,606 ($651,230)
  • April alone: 135 cases, £127,417 lost

How it works:

  1. You get a WhatsApp from an unknown number: “Hi Mum, I lost my phone.”
  2. They claim they’re locked out of their bank.
  3. They send a voice note and it sounds like your child.
  4. They ask you to urgently transfer money to a new account.

The danger

Scammers scrape social media for voice clips and personal details. Then they use generative AI to clone the voice and craft a believable story.

“I was able to fool my own mother with an AI version of my voice,” Moore admits.

Who’s at risk:

  • Parents with active kids on social media
  • Elderly users less familiar with AI tricks
  • Anyone receiving messages from unfamiliar numbers

What you can do:

  • Always call back using a saved number before sending money
  • Set up family ‘code words’ to verify real emergencies
  • Never send money to a new account without confirmation
  • Report scams to 7726 (UK scam reporting line)
  • If you fall victim, contact your bank immediately

Stay vigilant

AI scams are advancing fast. WhatsApp, though encrypted, can’t stop someone with your number from messaging you.

“These scams are evolving at breakneck speed,” says Chris Ainsley, head of fraud at Santander.

AI has supercharged a common scam. If your child “calls” from a strange number asking for money, think twice. Then call them on the number you know.

“Create a replica of this image. Don’t change anything” AI trend takes off

by

People are asking AI to recreate the same image over and over again, with each iteration drifting further and further from the original. 

The results are sometimes amusing, sometimes unsettling. In some cases, the images completely shape-shift into crazy abstract forms. In others, facial features are wildly exaggerated.

One of the most viral images is of actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson replicated a staggering 101 times. 

While the first few iterations closely resembled the original photo, subsequent versions saw Johnson’s features morph and distort, eventually becoming totally abstract. 

So what’s going on under the hood? It’s primarily a result of how AI models are trained and how they encode and reconstruct images. 

When an AI is asked to recreate an image, it doesn’t simply copy and paste the original pixels. Instead, it breaks the image down into a complex set of features and patterns, which it then tries to reassemble based on its understanding of what the image should look like.

However, this process is inherently imperfect and introduces small errors or deviations each time. As the image is repeatedly fed back into the AI, these deviations compound, leading to increasingly distorted or unexpected results. 

It’s a bit like playing a visual game of “telephone” or “whispers,” where each message you whisper to the next person introduces new features.

However, AI’s aberrations may also reveal something about the biases and assumptions baked into these models. For example, some images seem to exaggerate facial features or create a warmer, more orange-tinted color palette. 

Users also noticed that eyebrows become highly exaggerated – almost painted on in the style of social media filters. As for the orange tint, some speculate that warmer tints are preferred in photography and thus are more common in the training data. 

Really, though, we have no idea what’s happening inside the immense “black box” that is today’s largest frontier models. 

But in the meantime, social media users seem to be having plenty of fun with the surreal, often disturbing results of repeated recursive AI image generation. 

Trends involving AI, like we recently saw with AI action figures, have recently taken off on social media, with thousands of people getting involved across X, Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram. 

One quipped, “I drained the ocean replicating my image 100 times.” Not to be a buzzkill, but it’s a good point.

Trump’s AI-generated papal portrait sparks controversy and debate

by

President Donald Trump has once again found himself at the center of a social media drama after posting an AI-generated image of himself dressed as the Pope.

The image, first appearing on Truth Social, depicts Trump in full papal regalia, complete with a white cassock, mitre, and large crucifix. It later appeared on official White House accounts.

As you’d imagine, the post has drawn a mix of criticism – mostly amusement, disrespect, and confusion. One X commenter said, “Please take this down. Many Catholics, myself included, find this as a great disrespect to the past and future leader of our church.”

Others can’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. But love it or hate it, you’ve got to admit – the image has got people talking.

Pope Francis passed away recently, and Trump already triggered backlash by stating, “I’d like to be Pope” before suggesting that a “very good” cardinal from New York could be a potential candidate.

Trump’s divisive nature needs little introduction. Where he goes, unpredictability follows, having already drawn criticism for messing with his phone and chewing gum at the Pope’s funeral.

The White House has not yet commented on the intent behind the AI-generated image.

Trump was raised Presbyterian but now identifies as a non-denominational Christian, and has a complex relationship with the Christian faith community given some of his behaviors, convictions, and allegations. 

While he’s enjoyed strong support from conservative evangelical voters, his grasp of Christian doctrine has often been called into question.

Of course, this isn’t the first time AI has dipped into the world of religion. Last year in Germany, an AI-powered avatar delivered a sermon to a packed house at St. Paul’s church. A computer-generated preacher took to the pulpit and waxed poetic about everything from overcoming fear to trusting in Jesus, all while sporting a rather unsettling, unchanging expression.

Back in 2023, an AI-generated image of Pope Francis himself wearing a trendy Balenciaga puffer jacket made the rounds on social media. AI deep fakes have since become far more realistic.

For now, however, the focus remains on the upcoming papal conclave and the future direction of the Catholic Church in the post-Francis era. 

As the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics await white smoke from the Sistine Chapel, Trump’s digital dalliance is not likely to improve his image with many.
