What happens when an AI creates a perfect digital clone of you, your voice, your mannerisms, even your beliefs, without your consent? Welcome to the world of AI doppelgängers, a future where your identity may no longer be yours to control.
In this episode of Convergence, hosts Faisal Hoque (New York) and Lauren Hawker Zafer (Zurich) explore the groundbreaking article “The AI Doppelganger Dilemma” and its far-reaching implications for technology, law, and human identity.
Together, they unpack:
- How AI doppelgängers go beyond deepfakes to replicate a person’s entire narrative and essence.
- Why existing privacy and publicity laws fail to protect against interactive digital replicas.
- The philosophical, psychological, and ethical crises sparked by unauthorized AI clones.
- Emerging proposals like a “digital likeness veto” and calls for new digital personhood rights.
- The systemic risks of a post-authentic world where trust, autonomy, and identity are at stake.
👉 Tune in to Convergence, the podcast at the intersection of technology, business, and leadership, to discover why the rise of AI doppelgängers could be the defining identity crisis of our time.
