Artificial Intelligence and Equitable Nursing Workforce Survey

Standardized Definitions

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science focused on creating systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning from data, recognizing patterns, making predictions, understanding language, and supporting decision-making.


Equity is the principle of fairness achieved by recognizing that individuals and groups have different needs and starting points, and by allocating resources, opportunities, and support accordingly to ensure just outcomes.
