Melissa Beebe, an experienced oncology nurse of 15 years at UC Davis Hospital, poses for a portrait outside of UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, Calif. on June 9, 2023. Artificial intelligence, though still nascent in most hospitals, is already changing the balance of power in nursing. As nurses work alongside more AI tools, hospitals are frequently wrestling with the question of whose decision is correct: the human’s or the machine’s? As AI tools expand, some nurses say the technology threatens their autonomy and critical-thinking skills. By turning over decision-making to an algorithm, a nurse no longer needs to know how to identify certain symptoms or predict certain problems, nurse advocates say, eliminating the need for skills and expertise that nurses use today.
