The ABNAI Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Nursing provides a high level model for the responsible integration of artificial intelligence within nursing practice, healthcare systems, and clinical decision making. The framework was developed to serve as the conceptual foundation for national certification standards for nurses working in artificial intelligence, healthcare technology, and clinical leadership.

The framework highlights the relationship between clinical expertise, technological infrastructure, governance, and patient centered care. Developed through interdisciplinary collaboration, it emphasizes the essential role of nurses and healthcare leaders in shaping the development, oversight, and ethical implementation of artificial intelligence in healthcare environments.

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded within healthcare delivery systems, nursing leadership must play a central role in guiding how these technologies are designed, implemented, evaluated, and governed. This framework establishes a structured model intended to support professional competency development, educational pathways, and the advancement of national standards for artificial intelligence integration within nursing practice.
