Montefiore Hospital in New York reportedly laid off 12 utilization-review nurses after changing a department workflow and introducing AI-powered software. The nurses' union alleges the technology replaced their work and broke contract protections on AI. Montefiore disputes this and calls it a nonclinical paperwork program.

What this means for youWorkers may see AI software brought in alongside job changes, and union contracts may set rules for it. If your workplace adds AI, ask what it does and whether any contract or policy covers it.
