Highlighting challenges related to academic integrity, accuracy, data privacy and security, for the development of critical thinking skills. The integration of AI in nursing education offers significant advantages for improving the quality and effectiveness of education, such as academic integrity, critical thinking and equitable access, for this reason, faculty training should be geared toward the integration of AI in nursing education.
