Human–AI Symbiosis and Co-Creation: Self Mirroring Twins for Active Social Co-Creation

This project builds an AI system foundation that enables active social co-creation by having humans live in symbiosis with “Self Mirroring Twins” — agents that learn and imitate the user’s behavior, preferences, and values — thereby deepening self-understanding and prompting behavior change.

Drawing on cognitive developmental robotics and active inference, we model long-term interactions between Self Mirroring Twins and humans, the dynamics by which both parties update their beliefs and predictions, and the computational understanding of how the boundary between the self and the Twin is formed. We aim to demonstrate, on real-world robots and dialogue systems, the effects on behavior change brought about through interaction with the Twin.
