AI in nursing

This artificial intelligence thing is a real thing. I just sent a suggestion into RFD TV and I'm pretty sure the response I got was an artificial intelligence one. Someone has mentioned that there are Bots going around posting online that are generated by artificial intelligence.

I don't know if anybody remembers the movie 2001 Space Odyssey. It came out when I was young, in the early seventies I think. Of course the computer Al took up a whole room. MpThe microchip hadn't been envisioned in that time and powerful computers were expected to take up a lot of room. But, it was an eerily accurate prophecy nevertheless.

How will this affect nursing and Medical Care?

    AI has the potential to make healthcare smarter, less invasive, more personalized  and connected but it will never replace instinct, critical thinking, or that "gut feeling"  nurses get.

    I do remember that movie. I also remember The Terminator. Neither ended up well for the humans.

    I think AI will start to dictate some if not most of the physician plan with the insurance companies/medicare/medicaid: if pt has X we should do Y. Insurance companies will only pay for what the AI says is the best practice/best way to help this patient. Which could be really good and really bad.

    I also think AI will real-time audit your charting.

    I don't understand the actual difference between an advanced smart computer and A.I?-- A.I. is on/ over the news, but it is not so new. It was science fiction originally.

    I wondered about it. I think I am one who definitely needs it on the job. I know we have had the internet for awhile but looking every medical condition up and then trying to compile multiple conditions and medications would be overwhelming. I've been reading and wondered if it is streamlining the process. I wondered how it would be in the hospital ICU or other departments.  

     

    Yes I think that the information would probably still have to be put into the computer however making it easier and a way that the system can interact to streamline the process would be ideal. 

     

    I wondered about it eliminating mistakes in nursing.   Telling you what to look for and to expect and what needs to be intervened. 

     

    How advanced will it be when someone is on the vital machines and also looking at their lab work.

     

    I was glad to know it may unlock and create new cures in medicine.

     

    Is this going to be the new future? Should I try to learn anything in Ai to better myself along?

     

    Will Ai make diagnosing easier? I read its really done things in medical imaging. 

     

    I would like to work where it is implemented and hopefully easy to navigate it on screen?

     

    Anyone else on any further thoughts about it?

    I have used ChatGPT to ask AI about the impacts of AI and the potential benefits and downsides. Ethical questions abound. Yes, it definitely has the potential to keep patients safer, to improve documentation (especially for physicians) and to level the playing field for best practices. It also has the potential to make grave, grave errors, to be a huge question mark for patient privacy and to negatively impact marginalized populations and reduce access to quality care.
