NVIDIA to create AI ‘agents’ that outperform human nurses
Well, when the robots start giving enemas, the patients are going to run screaming from the hospital…

What they are looking to build is in two parts, one is a patient monitoring system that can keep up with and understand incoming lab results or complaints, to assist with patient risk assessment and management in real time. The other part is building AI conversational agents to interact with patients on demand and in real-time with patients and caregivers in the hospital. That’s also the part that is likely to be introduced first, though there’s a lot of specialization and database work to be done yet.
