Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, generative AI, the metaverse and other iterations, are rapidly changing the landscape of education. Related technologies not only enhance the teaching and learning process but also improve the quality and availability of educational content. AI facilitates educational transformation, reshapes teaching models, and helps students achieve their personalized learning needs, thus improving learning outcomes, learning efficiencies, and teaching practices. Despite the many AI application cases in nursing management and clinical practice, the application of AI in nursing education remains in its infancy. Machine learning has been used to predict the academic performance and graduation results of nursing students, thereby facilitating the early identification of additional support needs. Natural language processing technology has been used to develop chatbots and virtual teachers to assist learning, providing personalized learning support to help students overcome learning obstacles. Also, generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT (chat generative pre-trained transformer) have been used to create simulated patient cases and as a tool for grading academic writing automatically. Moreover, the combination of generative AI technology and the metaverse has introduced new possibilities to nursing education, allowing students to learn in a more-immersive virtual environment. Despite the significant benefits brought by AI to nursing education, its implementation and integration still face multiple challenges, including high costs, the need to provide technical training to teachers, and the need to address issues such as academic integrity and data privacy. The authors hope this article will help promote interdisciplinary cooperation between nursing educators and information and communication experts and the development of AI-assisted teaching to open a new chapter in nursing education. |
