ABSTRACT:
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into nursing care marks a paradigm shift in healthcare delivery, promising precision, efficiency, and personalization. As healthcare systems face mounting challenges—ranging from workforce shortages to increasing patient complexity—AI emerges as a critical ally. This article explores the multifaceted role of AI in nursing practice, focusing on clinical decision support, predictive analytics, patient monitoring, and administrative automation. It also addresses ethical implications, data privacy concerns, and the evolving competencies nurses must acquire to thrive in technologically enriched environments. Evidence indicates that AI enhances diagnostic accuracy, reduces burnout, and strengthens patient engagement. However, successful integration requires a balance between technological innovation and the preservation of humanistic care values—the essence of nursing.
