AI tools can be of great help in both learning and teaching but it is important to know which AI tools should be employed in learning/teaching a particular subject or topic, Prof Jamuna said.

Sometimes answers or solutions given by AI are incorrect or biased.

As such, it is imperative for students to use only reliable AI tools, she said.

Even though AI has been developing by leaps and bounds, it will be impossible for AI to replace the profession of nursing any time soon.

Nonetheless, it is essential for nurses to have fair knowledge of the newest technologies, she said.
