Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies continue to expand exponentially in all sectors of our lives. Within the profession of nursing AI tools will have a significant impact on how nurses provide patient care. This project examines the ethical, social, and legal challenges of integrating AI in the practice of nursing. The goal of this project is to develop and validate a competency framework of AI competencies to be recommended for integration in nursing curricula at the CEGEP and university levels. The objectives of the project are to:
- Understand how AI tools can be used within nursing practice
- Understand the inherent educational, ethical and social implications
- Identify and formulate new competencies for nursing education at the CEGEP and University levels
- Make recommendation to the McGill Anglophone CEGEPs Consortium (MACC)

The final version will become available on this site by the end of May 2022.
