A new perspective in JAMIA by Duke's Michael Cary, Nicoleta Economou, and colleagues highlights an often overlooked gap in health AI governance: the absence of nursing perspectives in major policy frameworks. The authors examine the National Academy of Medicine’s Artificial Intelligence Code of Conduct and argue that nurses, who represent the largest segment of the healthcare workforce and play a central role in patient care and clinical workflows, must be explicitly included in AI oversight and implementation efforts. Drawing on governance models and practical examples, the paper outlines steps health systems can take to embed nursing leadership into AI governance, training, and evaluation processes. Integrating nursing expertise, the authors argue, will be essential to ensuring AI tools are safe, equitable, and aligned with real-world clinical care.
