ABSTRACT
The introduction of artificial intelligence into healthcare is a reality. Drawing on literature, this critical reflection uses McCance and McCormack's Person-Centred Practice Framework to examine how artificial intelligence can both advance and undermine the humanisation of care. Through structured dialogue and literature synthesis, we identify opportunities alongside challenges. We argue for context-sensitive implementation that integrates artificial intelligence into everyday practice while safeguarding relational ethics, professional judgement, and core person-centred values.
