Several terms have been used interchangeably for AI clones: AI replica, agent, digital twin, persona, personality, avatar, or virtual human. AI clones for people who have died have been called thanabots, griefbots, deadbots, deathbots and ghostbots, but there is so far no uniform term that specifies AI clones of living people. Deepfake is the term used for when an AI-altered or -generated image is misused to deceive others or spread disinformation.
Since 2019, I have interviewed hundreds of people about their views on digital twins or AI clones through my performance Elixir: Digital Immortality, based on a fictional tech startup that offers AI clones. The general audience response was one of curiosity, concern, and caution. A recent study similarly highlights three areas of concerns about having an AI clone: "doppelgänger-phobia," identity fragmentation, and false living memories.
