• Title: Did Chatbots Miss Their 'Apollo Moment'? A Survey of the Potential, Gaps and Lessons from Using Collaboration Assistants During COVID-19
• Authors: Biplav Srivastava
• Abstract summary: We look at how AI in general, and collaboration assistants (CAs or chatbots for short) have been used during a true global exigency - the COVID-19 pandemic. The key observation is that chatbots missed their "Apollo moment" when they could have really provided contextual, personalized, reliable decision support at scale that the state-of-the-art makes possible.

• Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have long been positioned as a tool to provide crucial data-driven decision support to people. In this survey paper, we look at how AI in general, and collaboration assistants (CAs or chatbots for short) in particular, have been used during a true global exigency - the COVID-19 pandemic. The key observation is that chatbots missed their "Apollo moment" when they could have really provided contextual, personalized, reliable decision support at scale that the state-of-the-art makes possible. We review the existing capabilities that are feasible and methods, identify the potential that chatbots could have met, the use-cases they were deployed on, the challenges they faced and gaps that persisted, and draw lessons that, if implemented, would make them more relevant in future health emergencies.

  This paper focuses on the role of chatbots in healthcare and explores the use of avatars to make AI interactions more appealing to patients. A framework of a general-purpose AI avatar application is demonstrated by using a three-category prompt dictionary and prompt improvement mechanism. A two-phase approach is suggested to fine-tune a general-purpose AI language model and create different AI avatars to discuss medical issues with users.
