这本开放获取的书旨在加深对作为社会技术系统的网络物理系统（CPS）及其与交织的人工智能（AI）的数字表示之间关系的理解。作者描述了为什么数字自我能够发展情感行为至关重要，以及为什么人类启发的人工智能是必要的，这样人类和类人生物才能共存。
导论章节描述了计算机科学中的主要里程碑，这些里程碑构成了数字双胞胎和数字自我实现的基础。随后的第一部分奠定了基础，发展社会技术的理解数字双胞胎的性质作为代表和跨人类发展的对象。在对数字双胞胎的概念理解以及如何根据认知和组织结构对其进行设计之后，第二部分为理解社会行为及其建模奠定了基础。在绘制行为相关模型及其模拟能力之前，它讨论了各种基于感知的社会情绪方法。特别是，它展示了情绪如何在很大程度上影响人工参与者的集体行为。第三部分最终展示了一种共生关系，在这种共生关系下，数字自我作为跨人类生态系统中的集成设计元素，可能会构建并产生数字双胞胎。本部分的章节致力于基于数字孪生模型共同创建反思性社会跨人类系统的机会和模式，探索相互控制和持续发展。最后的尾声在本质上是先天不足的推测，它提出了在计算基础上人工生命未来发展的想法。
这本书是为网络物理系统、机器人技术、社会模拟或系统工程等领域的研究人员和专业人士编写的，他们有兴趣对数字孪生兄弟和自主代理的未来进行推测。它还涉及数字双胞胎、数字自我和类人生物的哲学方面。
From Digital Twins to Digital Selves and Beyond: Engineering and Social Models for a Trans-humanist World
This open access book aims at deepening the understanding of the relation between cyber-physical systems (CPSs) as socio-technical systems and their digital representations with intertwined artificial intelligence (AI). The authors describe why it is crucial for digital selves to be able to develop emotional behavior and why a humanity-inspired AI is necessary so that humans and humanoids can coexist.
The introductory chapter describes major milestones in computer science which form the basis for the implementation of digital twins and digital selves. The subsequent Part I then lays the foundation to develop a socio-technical understanding of the nature of digital twins as representations and trans-human development objects. Following the conceptual understanding of digital twins and how they could be engineered according to cognitive and organizational structures, Part II forms the groundwork for understanding social behavior and its modeling. It discusses various perception-based socio-emotional approaches before sketching behavior-relevant models and their simulation capabilities. In particular, it is shown how emotions can substantially influence the collective behavior of artificial actors. Part III eventually presents a symbiosis showing under which preconditions digital selves might construct and produce digital twins as integrated design elements in trans-human ecosystems. The chapters in this part are dedicated to opportunities and modes of co-creating reflective socio-trans-human systems based on digital twin models, exploring mutual control and continuous development. The final epilog is congenitally speculative in its nature by presenting thoughts on future developments of artificial life in computational substrates.
The book is written for researchers and professionals in areas like cyber-physical systems, robotics, social simulation or systems engineering, interested to take a speculative look into the future of digital twins and autonomous agents. It also touches upon philosophical aspects of digital twins, digital selves and humanoids.
