Risking Human Dignity With Innovations: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Discipline of Nursing
Constance L. Milton
Abstract
Computerized technologies and expanding digital information are evolving in a highly complex system where novel innovations and creations of artificial intelligence such as "care robots" entangle the interactions of machines with human beings. Its usage and the usage of other technologies potentially bring into question what it means to be a human being. Artificial intelligence and its products potentially transgress the core values of nursing and potentially risk human dignity. In this article, the author offers ethical (straight thinking) ethos and implications for the future of nursing as a discipline.
