对话式人工智能在老年人孤独感干预中的研究进展

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1004-583X.2026.10.012

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

孤独感严重威胁全球老年人身心健康。对话式人工智能凭借高可及性与可扩展性成为新兴干预手段。本文采用叙述性综述方法,系统梳理了聊天机器人、语音智能助手、具身社交机器人以及虚拟数字人四种对话式人工智能形态的干预效应。部分形态在特定条件下显示出初步效果,但证据不一致性显著。其作用机制涵盖情感支持、社会连接与自我赋权三条相互渗透的路径,但干预效果受到用户特征、关系质量、伦理规范及研究设计等多重因素的制约。未来需开展大样本长期随机对照试验,深化对话式人工智能的适老化与本土化设计并完善伦理治理。
