Michael Sainato, The Guardian; The New York nurses replaced by AI: ‘It should concern every patient who cares about quality of care’
"After nearly four decades in her job, Shuler is one of 12 nurses who was laid off Sunday after being replaced with AI-powered software, according to the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), which represents nurses at the hospital...
National Nurses United (NNU), the parent union of NYSNA, has been raising the alarm about the effects AI will have on nurses. Shuler’s case would be one of the first AI-related layoffs handled by the union.
The union developed an AI bill of rights for patients and nurses, has been pushing for protections and guardrails in contracts and through legislation, and protested against employers using untested AI in patient care settings."
