AI is capable of mimicking a real person. It’s clear this capability exists, and the ethics of using AI for this purpose are often very clear. But increasingly, new applications are leading to ethically murky results. The good For example, the CEO of a company, or a politician, could choose to create a clone using AI tools, creating a chatbot plus an avatar — a digital twin — that can interact with people on their behalf. Silicon Valley is big on the idea: Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman are working on, or have already created, digital twins of themselves. Cloned politicians include Pakistan’s Imran Khan, who used an authorized voice clone to campaign from prison, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who used voice-cloned robocalls to speak with constituents in languages like Mandarin and Yiddish. This kind of use case is probably ethical — as long as the people interacting know that they’re dealing with a digital clone and not a real person. The bad The f
A LinkedIn feature that allows paid subscribers to view a list of visitors to their profile should be made available to all EU users free of charge to comply with the region’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a legal complaint launched by the None of Your Business (NOYB) digital rights group has claimed. Filed this week in an Austrian court, the group’s argument is that LinkedIn’s ‘Who’s Viewed Your Profile’ feature contravenes the GDPR Article 15, which covers a subject’s right of access to their own data. NOYB has a history of taking on tech companies. In 2025, Google was hit by a €325 million ($381 million) fine by French privacy regulator, the CNIL, over its data collection and advertising policies after a complaint by the group. Contradictory policy LinkedIn began offering users the ability to see who has viewed their profile around 2007, later turning this into a paywalled perk in a move that pre-dated the arrival of GDPR in 2018. According to NOYB, this commercializati
