Title
Who owns my AI twin? Data ownership in a new world of simulated identities
Abstract
The advent of AI twins (digital replicas encapsulating individuals’ knowledge, psychological traits, memories, beliefs, preferences, values, and behaviors) raises distinctive legal and ethical challenges. These entities, derived from personal data, compel a re-evaluation of what it means to have dominion over one’s data, and what it is to be a person or to have a personal identity in an AI-mediated age.
