For the First Time, a Robot Passed a Medical Licensing Exam
For the First Time, a Robot Passed a Medical Licensing Exam. Chinese AI-powered robot Xiaoyi took the country's medical licensing examinations and passed. Not only did the robot pass the exam, it actually got a score of 456 points, which is 96 points above the required marks.
This robot, developed by leading Chinese AI company iFlytek Co., Ltd., has been designed to capture and analyze patient information. Now, they’ve proven that Xiaoyi could also have enough medical know-how to be a licensed practitioner.
China is already a leading contender on the global AI stage, surpassing the United States in AI research, in an ultimate effort to become a frontrunner in AI development by 2030.
