Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various industries, including health care and nursing education. The authors explore AI's potential to enhance nursing by aiding the acquisition of knowledge, skills and the delivery of patient care. However, nurses must remain vigilant to the potential perils associated with AI use. Indeed, the need for critical thinking skills is becoming increasingly important in a fast-paced world. The article reflects on the use of AI from the perspectives of two nurse educators and a generative AI source – and it also offers potential strategies to recognise misinformation, AI ‘hallucinations’ (incorrect or misleading results presented as fact) and consider ways to help nurses apply safe and effective nursing care.
