Objective: to analyze the influence of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing, highlighting its transformative potential in the fields of education, practice and care management.
Method: a search was carried out in databases and a critical-reflective analysis of the articles found was performed.
Results: artificial Intelligence enables the automation of tasks, predictive data analysis and clinical decision support, contributing to more efficient and person-centered care. However, its integration raises ethical, legal and training challenges, requiring digital literacy and critical reflection. The importance of nurses' active participation in the development, implementation and evaluation of these technologies is highlighted, as well as the need for curricular reform in higher education. The creation of specific training platforms could support the continuous training of professionals.
Conclusion: the healthcare institutions must define clear guidelines for the use of Artificial Intelligence, recognizing it as a complementary tool to human work. The critical discernment of nurses is essential to ensure ethical and person-centered use.
