Evaluation Tools for Human-AI Interactions Involving Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairments

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems have already proven useful in human lives generally, there is an opportunity for specialized human-AI interaction (HAI) systems to support and provide care for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the integration of this technology in this population must be thought-fully designed to accommodate specific needs and limitations. This includes careful measurement of both humans and systems. We developed an evolving dataset categorizing relevant measurement tools into five groups: cognitive ability, demographics & personality, activity level, state of mind, and perceptions of the AI system. Each instance of the tool being used in the literature cataloged in the dataset is qualified in terms of how likely we would recommend using it in the domain of HAI for older adults with MCI based on contextual factors and internal reliability measures. This dataset will serve as a valuable resource for future research, aiding in the identification of promising areas and trends in AI systems for older adults with MCI as well as providing essential tools for future studies.
