Reflection

On the 8th day of December, we received an invite from our respective professor, Doc.
David was sent to our group chat. It was about “Enhancing Nursing Practice with Artificial
Intelligence: Ensuring Data Privacy and Reliability." The webinar was arranged by Batch 8 of
MAN graduates. In the span of 4 hours, we have learned a lot of information about artificial
intelligence and the internet that can be applied to our line of work. The speaker was indeed one
of the contributors to the fast-changing nursing community. They have done a lot of studies and
contributed to the nursing community in some way.

For the first speaker, Dr. Susan Newbold, PhD, RN, NI-BC, FHIMSS, FAMIA, who is situated
in Chicago, Illinois, while she speaks, has tackled artificial intelligence. According to her, there
is no standard definition of artificial intelligence that can be found on the web. But she did
mention a few branches of artificial intelligence that can be used. There’s predictive AI which
predicts output, generative AI that generates outputs based on prompts, algorithm are rules or
instructions the machine follows to achieve a goal that is set by the maker, chatbot is a computer
program designed to answer questions that is asked, deepfake is an image or recording that is
manipulated to misinterpret what someone did or said, hallucination is the phenomenon of
chatbots that confidently provides false information, Large language models or LLMs is a deep
learning algorithms, machine learning is the use and development of computer systems that
analyze and draw inference from patterns and data, and there’s prompt which is the instruction a
human provides AI ro perform task. All that said, humans are indeed the brains of AI. They input
(prompt) information to the AI, and the AI stores it. This is an easy way to collect data or
information with just one click. Dr. Newbold said that we have been using AI for a long time
now, and with the new and improved way to use it, AI can now interpret images and even predict
some future scenarios with just one click. One of the questions Dr. Newbold asked about the
nursing issues and technology issues was, “So can AI help us evaluate the shortage? "This
question was addressed to the nursing shortage or crisis. For me, it is a yes or no. Yes, because,
as shown by Prof. Michael Dino (the second speaker), humans are now creating robots with
intelligence that can provide care to patients, so we are one step closer to having a robot
companion in the hospital. I will also answer no, since we have a job that only humans can do,
which is to give empathy to our patients and clients.

For the second speaker, we have Prof. Michael Joseph S. Dino, RN, MAN, PhD, LPT, FAAN,
FFNHMRSI. He opened his topic with an icebreaker and started with the phrase “Change is
constant." He said that death, change, and God is not the only constants in the world; we also
have the 4 C's: change, challenges, chance, and choice. He has also mentioned that nurses have a
specific kind of love, which is "TLC, or tender loving care." Filipinos around the world have
been said to have this. That is why nurses cannot be replaced by technology; humans are the only
ones who can give the TLC.
