Title: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Practice and Education
Title: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Practice and Education
Abstract: The popularity of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing significantly with the new ability to employ natural language-based input. AI is now included in several aspects of nursing and will continue to be implemented in nursing settings at a rapid pace. Nearly all working nurses and nursing students have access to generative AI. Therefore, educational institutions and healthcare organizations should aim to use generative AI as a supporting tool in education and clinical practice. This should include training students and nurses on how to effectively use generative AI to provide the highest-quality and safest patient care.

Despite the many benefits of using generative AI in education and practice, such as personalization of the learning process, individualized approaches, automation of tasks, and support tools, it is important that educators and healthcare leaders are also aware of the challenges and limitations. This talk will also present several good practice examples of how AI can be used for nursing education and practice.
