Abstract
The rapid advancements of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare have triggered a significant literacy gap among nursing professionals, raising concerns about implementation, ethical use, and impact on practice. This article introduces the AI-ABCs framework as a structured approach to building foundational AI literacy among nurse leaders, educators, and healthcare professionals. The framework was developed through a comprehensive literature synthesis and expert consultation in nursing informatics to identify essential components of AI literacy for healthcare professionals. The AI-ABCs framework provides an accessible entry point for AI literacy through three components: A-AI-Basics, B-Benefits and Challenges of AI, and C-Core Components and Terminologies in AI. The AI-ABCs framework offers nurse leaders and educators a structured approach to developing foundational AI literacy necessary for guiding policy development, curriculum integration, and ethical implementation in healthcare and educational settings, aligning with recommendations from key professional organizations.
