arXiv:2607. 18884v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into healthcare to support diagnostics, decision-making, and administrative processes.
The growing role of AI-generated content and AI-enabled systems in public communication has led regulators to demand clear disclosure of content provenance and AI involvement. But the effects of such disclosures remain uncertain.
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.

arXiv:2606. 20605v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly used for health information, yet its influence on users' trust calibration remains unclear.
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.

The study compares communication styles of large language models (LLMs) and humans in explaining COVID‑19 misinformation, using a dataset of 1,498 fact‑checking claims and 99 blinded reader evaluations. LLM‑generated explanations scored lower on persuasive strategies, certainty, and alignment with social values, yet over 60% of participants preferred LLM content for clarity, completeness, and persuasiveness. The findings suggest that reader preference may not align with traditional measures of communication quality, highlighting both the promise and limits of LLMs in health communication.
