AI's Growing Role in Hospitals Alarms ICU Nurse
Michael Kennedy, a neuro-intensive care nurse in San Diego, expresses concern over the increasing use of AI in hospitals, fearing it undermines nurses' intuition and decision-making. He describes how AI systems, like those predicting patient acuity, have shifted control away from nurses, potentially compromising patient care. Kennedy argues that while AI aims to improve efficiency, it may lead to reduced staffing and hinder the development of critical thinking in new nurses, ultimately prioritizing machine-driven processes over human intuition and experience.
