The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical practice represents a paradigm shift in healthcare delivery, with significant implications for NPs. This emerging technology offers a myriad of benefits, including enhanced practice efficiency, streamlined documentation processes, and potential reduction in healthcare expenditures. However, the implementation of AI is not without challenges. Ethical considerations, data privacy concerns, and lack of comprehensive training present significant hurdles that must be addressed. NPs are uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in the judicious implementation of AI technologies, ensuring that the fundamental tenets of compassionate, patient-centered care are not compromised.
