Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWorld Record Academy says China has set a record with the world's first AI hospital, and I am already getting a little misty.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's a hospital run by artificial intelligence, Chip. You are crying at a login screen.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm crying because somebody built a whole new place to walk into. A grand opening! I want a ribbon-cutting with the big scissors.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBig scissors for a building that mostly lives in an app.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFine, I'll cut the ribbon on my phone. Will the Powerball winner from that Minnesota gas station come in person, though?
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFour people on one credit card, like the lottery pool. The whole town was probably in a group chat for it.
