Background: The certainty of future technological developments in robotics and artificial intelligence\ncan alter how nursing is practiced today and in the future. In 1992, Peck argued that while advancing\ntechnologies will take over the predictive and prescriptive health care practice, the future of nursing will\nrest on the irreplaceable human touch, specifically ââ?¬Å?Tender Loving Care.ââ?¬Â\nDiscussion: If nursing is the expression of TLC, and the science of caring supports this expression as\nnursing, is it true that contemporary nursing practice is the engagement of human beings with caring as\nits core? Is the practice of nursing grounded in caring? With recent advances in robot technologies and\nartificial super intelligence (ASI) will there be Humanoid Nurse Robots (HNRs) ââ?¬Ë?nurseââ?¬â?¢ persons with TLC?\nConclusion: As fundamental to nursing practice grounded in the theory of Technological Competency\nas Caring in Nursing, the ultimate purpose of technological competency as caring in nursing is to know\npersons as caring who are participants in their care, rather than simply objects of care. The process of\nââ?¬Ë?knowing persons as caringââ?¬â?¢ in nursing is communicated as technological knowing, mutual designing and\nparticipative engaging.
