That's why we're demanding safe staffing
and protections against untested technolo-
gies such as A.I. We see the harm that these
cost-cutting schemes cause our patients on a
daily basis."
In 2024, NNU released its Guiding Prin-
ciples for A.I. implementation that
promotes quality patient care, safety, and
equity. Based on member reports from
around the country, NNU has shared its
deep concerns with the current implemen-
tation of A.I. with hospital employers, policy
regulators, and the public.
For decades prior to the introduction of
A.I. technology in hospital settings, NNU
nurses have fought back against employer
efforts to deploy unproven technology to
deskill, speed up, and replace their work.
Through collective action and collective bar-
gaining agreements, they have won
technology protections designed to safeguard
patients and the nursing profession—with
the latest example across HCA facilities.
