Episode #70. Don’t Let AI Define Nursing, with Molly K. McCarthy, MBA, BSN, RN-NI, FAAN

The future of healthcare depends not just on better technology, but on nurses being brave enough to shape it. In this episode of the Smart Care Team Spotlight, host Molly McCarthy, MBA, RN-BC, a former US Microsoft CNO, delivers an NYU commencement address where she shares how her mother’s cancer journey inspired her to become a nurse and shaped her belief in the power of human-centered care. She calls on the next generation of nurses to approach AI and healthcare innovation with cautious optimism while taking an active role in designing, questioning, and shaping the technologies that are transforming their profession. Her message is ultimately about purpose, courage, advocacy, and recognizing that a nursing identity can be a powerful foundation for whatever path comes next.
