AI clones made from user data pose uncanny risks
This mirror image of an individual created by artificial intelligence is referred to as an “AI clone.” Our study dives into the murky waters of what these AI clones could mean for our self-perception, relationships and society.
- This mirror image of an individual created by artificial intelligence is referred to as an “AI clone.” Our study dives into the murky waters of what these AI clones could mean for our self-perception, relationships and society.
- We identified three types of risks posed by AI replicas: doppelgänger-phobia, identity fragmentation and living memories.
- AI clones are also interactive technologies, designed to interpret user and environmental input, conduct internal processing and produce perceptible output.
- As the volume of personal data we generate continues to grow, so too does the fidelity of these AI clones in replicating our behaviour.
