A dozen nurses at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx have received notices saying their positions were being eliminated, and their union’s blaming artificial intelligence — claims a hospital spokesperson called “inaccurate and misleading.”

Representatives of the New York State Nurses Association said at a press conference that the union had filed a grievance over the notices, contending that Montefiore’s actions constitute a breach of their labor agreement.

The hospital system disputed the union’s claims, without going into detail.

"As is often the case, the claims by NYSNA are inaccurate and misleading,” Joe Solomonese, a spokesperson for Montefiore, said in a statement. “What is true is that we are always investing in new technology to ensure the best care and outcomes for our patients and will continue to do so for the betterment of the people we serve."
