Beschreibung: This report critically analyzes the effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics on the nursing labor market, focusing on shifts in job roles, skills, and workforce dynamics. Utilizing a systematic review, the study examines AI’s transformative potential in nursing practice, particularly through automating routine tasks, augmenting clinical decision-making, and streamlining patient care processes. AI technologies such as predictive analytics, natural language processing, and robotics offer substantial opportunities to enhance efficiency, reduce administrative burdens, and improve patient outcomes. However, the rapid adoption of AI also presents challenges, including potential job displacement, the widening of skill gaps, and ethical concerns related to data privacy and patient safety. The findings highlight the need for continuous professional development with a strong focus on digital literacy and skill enhancement to prepare nurses for changing roles in a technology-driven healthcare environment. The report also stresses the importance of regulatory oversight to address ethical implications and ensure equitable access to AI tools across different healthcare settings. Ultimately, the study calls for a strategic approach to AI integration, advocating for technology that supports and enhances, rather than replaces the nursing workforce. By fostering collaboration between AI developers, healthcare providers, and policymakers, the nursing profession can adapt to the digital era while maintaining its critical role in patient-centered care.
