Generative Artificial Intelligence Chatbots for Motivational Interviewing: A Scoping Review From System Design to Intervention Outcomes

This scoping review examined 48 studies on generative AI chatbots designed to deliver motivational interviewing (MI). It found that most systems were text‑based and disembodied, with about half incorporating dynamic adaptation, and that safety reporting was inconsistent. While user perceptions were generally positive and many studies reported MI‑consistent interactions, evidence for sustained behavioral or functional change remains limited.

Personalizing Personal Health Interfaces: Co-Design with Generative AI

The paper explores how generative AI can lower the barrier to personalizing health dashboards by enabling users to co-design interfaces in Figma Make. In a study with 14 participants, redesigns of Google and Apple Health focused on personal context, future planning, and interactive experiences, though conversational AI designs tended toward chat-window conventions. AI facilitated the materialization of loosely articulated ideas, yet model defaults and generation latency influenced iteration, and the process highlighted interpretability and accountability over privacy, trust, and emotional safety.

Thinking Outside the [Chat]Box: Bridging Computer Science and Industrial Design for Cognitive-Inclusive Generative AI

arXiv:2606. 14306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current Generative AI (GenAI) interfaces remain largely constrained to chatbox interaction, which can impose high cognitive demands on users and create substantial barriers for people with intellectual disabilities (ID), including prompt formulation difficulties, response overload, and limited mechanisms to assess information reliability.
