Topic: Empirical Knowing & Artificial Intelligence

Purpose

As Artificial Itelligence becomes embedded in our daily lives, we must stop and consider how the data $($empirical evidence$)$ generated by AI is used to inform future nursing knowledge$-$ the article by Pierce et al$.(2020)$

Discussion Prompts

$1.$ What is the authors' philosophical perspective on using machine learning to generate nursing knowledge?

$2.$ What are some potential or real impacts of Artificial Intelligence $($AI$)$ and Technology on methodological approaches to developing$/$testing nursing knowledge?

$3.$ What are some potential or real impacts of AI and Technology on how data is gathered?

$4.$ What are some of the social, ethical, and global concerns related to knowledge development using AI and Technology?

$5.$ How does what we know and don't know about AI influence your perception of knowledge generated by AI$?$
