We Recruit for Values. Then an AI Tool Arrives and None of That Applies.

We recruit for values. We onboard with supervision. We review performance before anyone works unsupervised.

Then an AI tool arrives in the service and none of that applies.

My piece in Nursing Times argues that nurses should be in the room when a decision is made about which AI joins the team - not handed the result and asked to make it work.

Because AI in health care needs to be exactly what any good colleague is: useful, fallible and never in charge.

Which AI tool arrived in your service without a nurse anywhere in the decision? Curious how common that is.

Thank you to Joan Myers OBE, QN - my Mary Seacole Leadership award mentor, in my corner since 2010 when I developed my first health app, and the reason this piece reached Nursing Times.
