The Global Nursing AI Alliance, a United States-based nonprofit organization founded in 2025, announced today the expansion of its international leadership presence to Brazil, marking a significant milestone in its global growth strategy.
Established as a membership-based nonprofit organization, the Alliance provides education, mentorship, and opportunities for global collaboration designed to support nurses interested in artificial intelligence and digital health. GNAA fosters education, mentorship, and global dialogue to support nurse engagement in emerging technologies and their impact on healthcare.
Since its launch, the organization has developed a multi-division leadership model spanning oncology, women’s health, mental health, pediatrics, primary care, acute care and surgery, health informatics, cybersecurity, and education and workforce transformation. The addition of Brazil expands GNAA’s footprint in South America and strengthens its commitment to cultivating regional leadership hubs aligned with the responsible implementation of artificial intelligence.
In addition to its United States foundation, GNAA has appointed global ambassadors across several African countries, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, reinforcing its mission to build a cross-continent network of nurse leaders shaping artificial intelligence policy, governance, education, and clinical integration.
As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across healthcare systems globally, GNAA focuses on advancing nurse education, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, engaging in research, and promoting global dialogue to ensure artificial intelligence integration reflects clinical realities, diverse patient populations, and equitable healthcare delivery.
Quote from Brazil Ambassador: “Twenty years ago in Brazil, I stood at the intersection of clinical care and technology. Today, that intersection includes AI, and it will only be as equitable as the voices shaping it. As a nurse practitioner, educator, and health informaticist who has lived and worked across Brazil and the USA, I am deeply honored to represent Brazil in this global movement. My commitment is to ensure that nurses around the globe have a seat at the table where artificial intelligence is designed, evaluated, and governed so that the future of healthcare reflects the diversity, resilience, and humanity of every patient we serve.”
