You Could Have a Digital Twin Sooner Than You Think

 A digital twin is a copy of a person, product, or process that is created using data. This might sound like science fiction, but some have claimed that you will likely have a digital double within the next decade.

As a copy of a person, a digital twin would – ideally – make the same decisions that you would make if you were presented with the same materials.

This might seem like yet another speculative claim by futurists. But it is much more possible than people might like to believe.

While we might tend to assume that we are special and unique, with a sufficient amount of information, artificial intelligence (AI) can make many inferences about our personalities, social behavior, and purchasing decisions.

UN CODES is using the fabricated climate crisis to usher in digital twins and the Internet of Things

 The United Nations CODES Action Plan (“the Plan”) was presented during the Fifth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (“UNEA-5”) in February/March 2022. The Plan is a creation of the Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability (“CODES”), an alliance established in March 2021 in response to the UN Secretary General’s ‘Roadmap for Digital Cooperation’.

A few months later, in June 2022, the Plan was launched by a UN-backed coalition of 1,000 stakeholders from over 100 countries. It is championed by the United Nations Environment Programme (“UNEP”), the United Nations Development Programme (“UNDP”), the International Science Council (“ISC”), the German Environment Agency (“UBA”), the Kenya Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Future Earth and Sustainability in the Digital Age, a think tank at Concordia University, Canada. These co-champions act as the Secretariat for CODES, working closely with the UN Office of the Secretary General’s Envoy on Technology.

The Plan is meant to inform the emerging set of priorities for the ‘Global Digital Compact’ as set out in the UN Secretary-General’s report ‘Our Common Agenda’.

Our Common Agenda was released by António Guterres in September 2021 and called for the world to “turbocharge action” on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”). It also called for a ‘Summit of the Future’ which is to be held in September 2024 and the outcome is expected to be the ratification of the ‘Pact for the Future’.....<<<Read More>>>...
