While artificial intelligence (AI) holds immense potential for health care, the future of AI-powered chatbots such as ChatGPT in research remains uncharted. Through narrative-focused group discussion, this study explored Filipino nurse scientists’ perspectives on ChatGPT's role in research. Ten experienced ChatGPT users participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed three themes: (a) cultural awareness when using ChatGPT—emphasizing sensitivity to local practices, respect for elders, illness perceptions, and family involvement; (b) ChatGPT-specific needs of Filipino nurse scientists—highlighting data and language accessibility, cultural integration, and public health applications; and (c) shifting skillsets and resources for effective AI use in nursing research—underlining the need for technical expertise, ethical considerations, and resource development. This study emphasizes ChatGPT's potential to enhance patient services and well-being while stressing the importance of cultural sensitivity and ethics in AI development. These findings can guide health-care professionals and developers to optimize AI use, ensuring patient security, confidentiality, and inclusivity.
