Tiivistelmä
In the recent times, artificial intelligence has started to play a vital role to provide improved elderly care. However, it has its own digital ethical dilemmas which need to be explored.

This study investigates the role of AI and its digital ethical dilemmas associated with elderly care. The research utilized five semi structures qualitative interviews from nurses in Finland and qualitative content analysis to find out the results. The study relies on Jean Watson’s theory of care.

The study finds three main themes including human replacement, individual acceptance and responsibility. It is also observed that there is no one answer to overcome these dilemmas. Nurses and AI can be used as partners to overcome these issues and to gain the maximum benefits for elderly care. Moreover, nurses and elderly should be provided with proper support if they feel threatened. Research is concluded by providing recommendations and future research suggestions.
