How obedient digital twins and intelligent beings contribute to ethics and explain-ability, presentation by Paul Valckenaers, Senior Researcher at UCLL at the Trustworthy and Ethical AI conference on Feb. 13th
Paul Valckenaers explains how intelligence is added to a corresponding reality without introducing limitations into a world-of-interest. The outcome is obedience: a conflict with an obedient digital twin is a conflict with its real-world counterpart. Illustrated by healthcare examples.

1. Obedient digital twins
Obedient digital twins and intelligent beings
contribute to ethics and explain-ability

2. Ethics in IT & AI – in the eyes of a non-expert
• Bureaucratic, legalistic…
• Reduced service when denying access not transparent
• Legal action What are the other options?
• Time, attention… are precious and in limited supply
• Nudging extremely effective manner to change nothing
• more is needed
• ! By design !
• Technical enforcement (IT takes care)
• Technical facilitation of enforcement (Certification, auditing…)
• Technical facilitation of community support (Templates, monitoring…)
• OBEDIENT DIGITAL TWINS
3. Obedient + Twin Ethics
• Digital Twins
• Mirror (what is considered relevant in a) corresponding reality
• Stick to facts and do not judge, prefer…
• Oldest examples include maps
• The opposite of e.g. “A.I. to decide whether a salesperson will …”
• Obedient
• Don’t add constraints to the world-of-interest
• Don’t impose non-existing limitations
• While providing intelligence
• First a layer that circumvents tricky ethical issues
4. Overview
• Digital twin and bounded rationality
• Digital twins for smart energy – simple example
• Digital twins for healthcare – ethics example
• Digital twins – Data protection & ownership
• Natural match + obedient
• Divide & conquer – across specialized services
5. Bounded rationality & science of the artificial
• Humans have finite info processing and communication capacities
• E.g. Mythical man month, success of market economies…
• Nobel Prize winner Herbert Simon
• Scientific laws for human-created artifacts (analogy: Carnot’s Principles)
• Conditions for scientific laws to be applicable (analogy: Speed of light)
• Simon: Aggregation hierarchies that emerge and adapt over time
• Santa Fé Institute: Autocatalytic sets (e.g. increasing returns, VHS)
• Design for the unexpected (i.e. design for integrate-ability)
• Components must be suitable for creating and adapting Simon’s aggregates
• But we cannot know what the requirements will be
6. Designing without knowing the requirements
• Artificial Intelligence Human-like problem solving
• Human-like conflicts
• Unsolvable when inertia (i.e. lock-in caused by …)
• Degraded performance, severe compromising, …
• Software is savant – Artificial Narrow Intelligence !!!
• NP-hard P
• Don’t care choices (e.g. left or right)
• Prevailing conditions
• Expected future(s)
• Not future-proof, scalable…
• We need to design and develop for the unexpected
7. First, IT services for the unexpected, next…
• Only the Creator (Pan?) enjoys unbounded rationality
• Reality is coherent and consistent
• Quantum level: uncommitted until … advanced coherence?
• But the Creator does not listen to your customer!
• Obedient Digital Twins inherit this coherency and consistency
• Obedient digital twins keep the Creator in their design team
• Exclusively services that do not rely on expectations, arbitrariness…
• E.g. Google Maps
• Conflicts with a map, upgrading & updating, resolution overkill for a penny…
15. Digital twin – Health – Integrated Care
• Resources
• Patient
• Healthcare provider
(professional or other)
• Transportation
• Healthcare facilities
• …
• Activities
• Non-deterministic
pathways (= types)
• Path execution (= instance)
• …
Coordination
across
organizational
boundaries
16. Digital twins – Data protection & ownership
• Natural match
• High availability
• Divide & conquer – specialized services
• Automation – joined data ownership
17. Digital twins – Data protection & ownership
• Natural match
• Data and information ownership remains with the twin (to start)
• Twin provides a high-availability service
• Obedient multi-purpose (= design for the unexpected)
• Advanced services more than replacing what already exists !!!
E.g. Doodle + Maps + … fine-grained, iterative, adaptive, non-stop…
• High availability
• Research prototypes use the BEAM
• Reveals that it is feasible today (actually already yesterday)
• 3X – 20X software development productivity relative to …
18. Digital twins – High availability is feasible
• Research prototypes use the BEAM
Erlang, Elixir, distributed OS, OTP-middleware…
• Scalable WhatsApp provides the evidence
• Fin Tech uses the BEAM:
Security
99.9999999% for decades
• 99.999% for 5 years in healthcare
• Hot code updating (Cf. PICANOL struggling with updates)
• Orchestration is its sweet spot
cooperates with Java, C, C++, C#, Python, Rust…
• Embedded as well (cf. Ericsson, Nerves)
• Web also Phoenix Framework, Phoenix LiveView…
19. Digital twins – Data protection & ownership
• Divide & conquer – specialized services
• Storage-only providers: decentralized bank services for data
• Spreading of data (bits), of encryption and keys, …
• Spreading across juridictions
• …
• No-storage service providers
• Notary, Law firm, GP, Anonymizer, …
20. Digital twins – Data protection & ownership
• Automation
• Hiding of non-disclosure to ‘power abusers’
• Shared data ask the others, expose consensus
• Result-only services
• Beyond data services:
• Doodle+Maps+…
• Interactive “advertising”
21. Conclusion
• Obedient digital twin designed to integrate/interoperate
• Avoid ethic issue (only facts, no decisions)
• Innovative data protection
• Radically new services
22. Conclusion
• more is needed
• ! By design !
• Technical enforcement (IT takes care)
• Technical facilitation of enforcement (Certification, auditing…)
• Technical facilitation of community support (Templates, monitoring…)
23. Digital Twins – Predicting the unexpected
• Latest version
• Twins of mental states?
• Even those twins obey
