• Abstract: Objective: To analyze the data available in the literature regarding the benefits and challenges of applying Artificial Intelligence in the care of critically ill patients, with emphasis on the implications for nursing practice in Intensive Care Units. Methods: This is an integrative review. Data collection was conducted between January and March 2025, in the LILACS, BDENF, and MEDLINE databases. The descriptors used were: Nursing, Artificial Intelligence, and Nursing Informatics. The review included publications from 2021 to 2025, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, that were freely available online in full text.Results: Artificial Intelligence has demonstrated a positive impact on clinical monitoring, complication prevention, and the optimization of nursing practice in Intensive Care Units. It has shown effectiveness in the early detection of delirium, sepsis, pressure injuries, and cardiorespiratory deterioration. In addition, it has shown potential to reduce workload, improve patient safety, and support clinical decision-making, nursing team management, and resource optimization. Conclusion: Artificial Intelligence presents promising impacts on the monitoring and prevention of complications in critically ill patients, provided its adoption is guided by technical responsibility, active participation of nursing professionals, and ethical support.
