Category:
Societal Impact
Data Governance (see reasoning)

The text explicitly mentions 'artificial intelligence' and defines it as a broad category of digital technologies involving algorithms that drive software and robotics behavior, highlighting its relevance to nursing practice. It also includes a mandate for the board to establish standards for the use of AI in nursing, which signifies a focus on the implications of AI in healthcare and nursing practice. This directly ties the legislation to the Social Impact category as it addresses the integration and implications of AI in a healthcare context. Data Governance is moderately relevant as it may imply considerations of data management and accuracy within AI systems used in nursing but lacks specifics in the text. System Integrity is slightly relevant because the mention of AI standards may infer some aspects of oversight, but does not explicitly address security or transparency. Lastly, Robustness is also slightly relevant since the text includes new benchmarks but doesn't focus on certification or auditing of AI systems.


Sector:
Healthcare (see reasoning)

The text directly addresses the use of AI in nursing, clearly placing it within the healthcare sector. The definition of AI and the requirement to develop standards reflect a focused application of AI in clinical settings, impacting nursing practices. Therefore, Healthcare is assigned a high relevance score. Other sectors such as Government Agencies and Public Services might receive slight relevance because the board of nursing functions somewhat like a government agency, but the focus remains predominantly on healthcare. The legislation does not address AI in contexts like Politics and Elections, Judicial System, or Academic and Research Institutions, thereby scoring them as not relevant.
