Pedagogical Twins: Conceptualizing an Educational Doppelganger

This paper explores a hypothetical future technology called a 'pedagogical twin,' which would be a digital version of a student designed to help with education. The authors use ethical frameworks (PAPA framework and virtue ethics) to think through potential risks and benefits before this technology is actually built, including concerns about young people's digital exposure and social media. The paper suggests that understanding these risks now can guide how such a system should be designed in the future.
