Purpose: The digital world has also affected the health sector and technological tools have begun to be used in the health sector. One of the technological tools is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines designed to perform tasks that typically require human cognition, such as problem solving, decision making and pattern recognition. Artificial intelligence is a system designed to solve complex operations obtained by adapting human thinking and consciousness to machines in a way similar to the human brain structure on a computer. The application of artificial intelligence as a support system in health services has gained special importance in recent years, especially as a result of the increasing data ecosystems in health systems. In the future, artificial intelligence is expected to significantly affect various areas of health and is thought to have the potential to improve many aspects of health services. This article was prepared to draw attention to the use of artificial intelligence in nursing and its reflection on nursing in the future. Method: Online databases (Web of Science, Wiley, Sipringer, Science Direct, Sage Publication, PubMed) were searched for published research and systematic review articles on artificial intelligence using the terms “artificial intelligence”, “types of artificial intelligence”, “use of artificial intelligence in health”, “use of artificial intelligence in nursing”. Initially, duplicate records that were not specifically related to the research topic were eliminated. Then, titles, abstracts and full text of the articles were examined. This activity allowed to evaluate whether the identified records were relevant to the topic and met the research objectives, to evaluate the compatibility and homogenization. Thus, data on the study results regarding the reflection of artificial intelligence in nursing were collected and synthesized. Conclusion: Developed artificial intelligence and robotic technologies provide significant contributions to nursing care. Artificial intelligence has the potential to support nursing practices by providing real-time decision-making support, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks, and facilitating the efficient management of patient data and care. However, the use of AI-based support systems in nursing care continues to cause concerns and debates due to fears that such technology could eventually replace human interactions, jeopardize the ethics of care, and above all, that AI could replace the functions of nurses.
