Abstract

A significant challenge of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is the gap between technological advancements and policies to guide their ethical use. The integration of AI in all aspects of nursing is poised to revolutionize the delivery of nursing care to patients. As such, nursing practice and educational programs will be required to adapt to these advancing technologies while maintaining the core tenets and ethical values inherent in the profession. Schools, colleges, and universities will be called upon to act to safeguard the value of education and the sanctity of the nursing profession Ultimately, it will be the responsibility of nurses to make sure technological advances, including AI, do not compromise learning or the human interactions and relationships that are essential to providing patient-centered care. The purpose of this article is to explore the ethical implications for the nursing profession of these advances as currently known and understood.

在护理中导航人工智能：利益、风险和教育转变的伦理探索

生成式人工智能（AI）的一个重大挑战是技术进步与指导其道德使用的政策之间的差距。人工智能在护理各个方面的整合将彻底改变对患者的护理服务。因此，护理实践和教育计划将需要适应这些先进的技术，同时保持专业固有的核心原则和道德价值观。学校、学院和大学将被要求采取行动，维护教育的价值和护理职业的神圣性。最终，护士有责任确保包括人工智能在内的技术进步不会损害学习或人际互动和关系，而这些对于提供以患者为中心的护理至关重要。本文的目的是探讨目前已知和理解的这些进步对护理专业的伦理影响。
