Title: AI - A vision for supporting nursing practice

Abstract: We are entering the next generation of technologies to support nurses' work. Machine learning, NLP and other AI methods have the potential to truly enact what nursing informaticians and researchers have been striving for since the 1950s. This presentation will focus on considerations to enact the vision for AI methods to support nursing work including data collection as a byproduct of the care process, dis-invisibilisation of nursing work, and true support of nurses clinical decision making across contexts.
