针对拉美地区文化差异,提出以人为本的医疗对话AI构建框架
Towards culturally-appropriate conversational AI for health in the majority world: An exploratory study with citizens and professionals in Latin America
- 通过拉美参与式工作坊收集本地数据,反向推动AI设计
- 发现现有文化概念在基层失灵,需融合经济政治等多重因素
- 提出多元共存对话AI框架,强调关系与包容比数据更重要
全球多数地区对医疗对话AI(CAI)有迫切需求,但其有效性依赖于对文化语言多样性的适配。当前大模型普遍忽略全球诸多真实生活经验。尽管已有研究侧重自上而下的方法和数据扩充,本文通过在拉丁美洲开展参与式工作坊,采用自下而上的本地化路径,旨在构建对数字健康领域文化错位、区域对健康聊天机器人的看法及构建文化适切性CAI策略的深入理解。研究发现,学术上对文化的界定在基层实践中失去意义,技术需融入更广泛的框架——涵盖经济、政治、地理与地方物流如何交织于文化体验中。为此,本文提出‘多元共存医疗对话AI’框架,主张更多关系性与包容性可能比单纯增加数据更为关键。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
There is justifiable interest in leveraging conversational AI (CAI) for health across the majority world, but to be effective, CAI must respond appropriately within culturally and linguistically diverse contexts. Therefore, we need ways to address the fact that current LLMs exclude many lived experiences globally. Various advances are underway which focus on top-down approaches and increasing training data. In this paper, we aim to complement these with a bottom-up locally-grounded approach based on qualitative data collected during participatory workshops in Latin America. Our goal is to construct a rich and human-centred understanding of: a) potential areas of cultural misalignment in digital health; b) regional perspectives on chatbots for health and c)strategies for creating culturally-appropriate CAI; with a focus on the understudied Latin American context. Our findings show that academic boundaries on notions of culture lose meaning at the ground level and technologies will need to engage with a broader framework; one that encapsulates the way economics, politics, geography and local logistics are entangled in cultural experience. To this end, we introduce a framework for 'Pluriversal Conversational AI for Health' which allows for the possibility that more relationality and tolerance, rather than just more data, may be called for.
