Are We Ready for AI Twins?

What are AI twin assistants, and how could they change the way we work, create and interact? What legal and ethical questions do they raise around data privacy, ownership and identity? These are the core questions addressed in the latest Arqus Knowledge Pills podcast episode: Are we ready for AI Twins? Legal and ethical challenges ahead: Innovation, privacy, and the future of digital identity.

In this brand-new episode, we welcome a very special guest: Dr Paulius Jurčys, senior lecturer at the Faculty of Law of Vilnius University and expert in data privacy, copyright and emerging technologies.

Together, we explore the fascinating world of AI twin assistants: digital versions of ourselves that can write, speak and act on our behalf. How do they work? Who owns the content they generate? And what are the legal and ethical risks when our voices and identities can be cloned?

From data ownership to AI-generated creativity and from deepfakes to digital fairness, this episode dives into the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence, law, and innovation. 

Tune in to discover how AI twins could reshape our understanding of creativity, fairness, and personal data in the digital future and why now is the time to think critically about the rules that will shape it. You can listen to the episode by clicking here.
