Cognitive Digital Twins: Ethical Risks and Governance for AI Systems That Model the Mind
Researchers propose a governance framework for cognitive digital twins (CDTs)—AI systems that create dynamic computational models of individual human cognition to predict behavior and act as decision-making proxies. The paper identifies unique risks including misrepresentation and proxy-power asymmetries, arguing that existing regulatory frameworks for AI systems inadequately address CDT-specific dangers at the level of cognitive representation itself.
