Between relief and dehumanization – designing AI in nursing care ethically

What are the ethical challenges and opportunities associated with the use of AI in nursing care? Given the nursing crisis and staff overload, AI can offer valuable relief—for example, through intelligent diagnostic systems that take over routine tasks, thereby freeing up more time for human interaction. But technology is not an end in itself: it must be designed to serve people – both those in need of care and those providing it. Madl emphasizes that AI systems are only ethically acceptable if they do not violate the fundamental values of care and do not replace, but rather reinforce, uniquely human aspects such as compassion, presence, and empathy. A careful risk and impact analysis is essential in order to use AI in care responsibly and in the spirit of a “win-win zone.”
