Ethical and regulatory considerations in the use of AI and machine learning in nursing: A systematic review.

Aim: This study systematically explores the ethical and regulatory considerations surrounding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in nursing practice, with a focus on patient autonomy, data privacy, algorithmic bias, and accountability.

Background: AI and ML are transforming nursing practice by enhancing clinical decision-making and operational efficiency. However, these technologies present significant ethical challenges related to ensuring patient autonomy, safeguarding data privacy, mitigating algorithmic bias, and ensuring transparency in decision-making processes.
