Nursing Workforce readiness for Artificial Intelligence

The introduction of artificial intelligence technology is penetrating many facets of everyday life, including the healthcare settings. Artificial intelligence (AI) involves technologies with the ability to perform tasks that would otherwise require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, and language translation. Artificial Intelligence systems today usually have the capacity to learn or adapt to new experiences or stimuli. It is unknown to what extent the Australian nursing workforce is ready to accept, adopt, and use artificial intelligence technologies in nursing practice.
