Will AI Replace Nurses? The Deskilling Debate
In this session, Dr. Bonnie Clipper discusses how AI is reshaping clinical workflows faster than most anticipated, and nursing isn't immune. This session cuts through the hype to ask the real question: as AI takes on more cognitive and diagnostic work, are nurses gaining capability or quietly losing it? Covers where AI genuinely supports practice, where it risks clinical judgment, and how nurses can prepare to work alongside it.
