- the AI processor device is set up to understand and use ethically relevant terms.
- a second storage device (public storage, shared storage) is preferably provided, which is set up for storing general additional data which is used for the mental Response characteristics represent relevant knowledge.
- the second memory device is particularly preferably coupled to an update device with which the general additional data can be renewed.
- the avatar device in particular the input device, has a communication channel which is set up for communication between the avatar device and the person.
- this allows the person to access the avatar device, for example to test its function, train the AI processor, or change stored data.
- the avatar device is thus not only trained by the person in question, but the real person whose moral attitudes it simulates also preferably has the opportunity at any time to check and, if necessary, correct the statements, in particular decisions, of their ethical avatar to train him further, or to make changes to stored values/interests/moral principles. However, the person also has the option of transferring the decision-making power entirely to their avatar and having them represent them completely.
- the real person's autonomy is not restricted, since the avatar merely acts as an assistant representative, under the person's control at all times and based only on the mental response characteristics, such as e.g. B. individual opinions and interests, the person takes on advisory functions.
- the input device is provided with an authorization device which is set up to direct the receipt of questions relating to the person to predetermined authorized entities, such as e.g. B. pharmaceutical companies and / or research institutions, and / or to predetermined permissible content.
- the authorization device particularly preferably comprises a communication authentication memory and a standard communication protocol function.
- the avatar does not allow access to the data by unauthorized persons and, even when answering questions that are asked to him, only provides personal data to a limited extent and only to authorized instances .
- the avatar device further includes a cryptographic memory configured to store access keys.
- this makes it possible to restrict access to the avatar device with a high level of reliability.
- the avatar device has a log memory which is set up to store a history of changes in the contents of the first and/or second memory devices.
- a timer device can advantageously be provided, which is set up to provide a time scale for the functions of the avatar device.
- the avatar device particularly preferably comprises a communication device which is set up for contacting and/or communicating with the person.

- FIG. 3 an illustration of the application of the first and second memory devices
- FIG. 4 an overview of an avatar method with features according to preferred embodiments of the invention.
- a AI processor device can be configured in particular as described in WO 2020/233850 A1 ("Recursive coupling of artificially learning units") and WO 2020/233851 A1 ("Coupling of several artificially learning units with a projection plane").
- WO 2020/233850 A1 and WO 2020/233851 A1 in particular with regard to the configuration of the AI processor device and its peripheral devices, such as B. input and output devices and memory, are incorporated by reference into the present disclosure.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the avatar device and its mode of operation, the sections (steps and/or components) a to g shown in FIG. 1 having the following meanings.
- Section a includes storing what has been learned and/or accessing what has been learned
- section b includes logging the times of the training units
- section c is access to the second storage device in order to be able to design a survey more intelligently and with a timer device (clock system) to compare

- section e it is determined who is entitled to ask questions and/or information
- section f includes influencing the activation or prevention of communication with the environment, in particular a communication protocol
- section g refers to a channel for training the class by a person, a questioning of the class and/or information from the class.
- the communication (see FIG. 4) and control of the communication between the avatar device and its environment (outside world, in particular requesting entities or real person training the avatar) comprises the following steps.
- Step a is a real person communication.
- the AI processor device verifies, using its cryptographic memory, whether the person is authorized to make changes to and/or communicate with the personal memory.
- step c decisions are made yes/no to allow training and/or yes/no to provide information.
- Step d is an incoming request on a predetermined topic from an entity such as B. a research direction.
- step e the avatar's AI processor device uses a directory of all authorized entities in its communication authentication memory to check whether it is entitled to receive information from this entity and on which topics it is entitled to provide information to it, in particular a protocol of communication in the communication authentication -Memory is used.
- step f the result of the check is delivered.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the storage of data and the retrieval of data from the first storage device (personal storage) in combination with the use of the second storage device (shared public storage) for chronological classification of the training content.
- the AI processor of the ethical avatar is not only able to store the current mental reaction characteristics, e.g. a real person's moral attitudes/opinions/interests (if authorized requests come, see Figure 2), but can also store older versions of the real person's mental response characteristics in a historical log and timed via a clock system classify absolutely. This chronological assignment also makes a comparison with the second memory device possible.
- the second memory device can also use the AI processor device to make the training by the real person more intelligent, for example by the AI processor device asking about the denomination of the person and understanding the answer "Christian" as access to the second memory device, since which captured what "being a Christian” means in relation to moral attitudes at a given point in time.
- the avatar device has the following features illustrated in Figure 1:
- the avatar device includes (1) a learning component that can learn moral attitudes from real people via personal training, wherein
- the results of this training are stored in the first memory device and the AI of the avatar can access this information (the first memory device is not public, ie access from the environment of the avatar device is blocked).
- the mental response characteristics such as B. moral beliefs, the person can be stored in the form of rule catalogues, micro-contracts and / or blockchains in the first memory device of the avatar.).
- Information about the person's religious affiliation or group/club/party memberships can also be stored in the first memory device, from which the ethical avatar is able to draw conclusions about the person's opinions (by accessing a separate memory ( second storage device, see (4)).
- the avatar device is set up to respond automatically to new questions (input) on the basis of its stored knowledge of the mental reaction characteristics, such as e.g.
- Attitudes to generate new answers (output) for the person Such an avatar is preferably able to understand and apply ethically relevant terms, which is made possible by a corresponding ontology (in particular systematic, formalized representation of entities, such as concrete and abstract objects, properties, facts, events, processes). becomes.
- the avatar (4) can preferably access a separate, second memory device in which (through previous professional training) more fundamental ones for the reaction characteristics, such as e.g. B. Morality, relevant knowledge is stored.
- This can, for example, involve knowledge about various ethical theories and their implications, about religions or other groups (such as parties or associations) and their codes and rules, but also about knowledge about ethically relevant terms and ethical dilemmas known and discussed in moral philosophy. situations.
- This second storage facility public storage, e.g.
- the avatar device could be used by the avatar device during its training by individuals to make the individual's interrogation more intelligent, to make the individual aware of certain questions, and to categorize the individual's responses to be able to
- the avatar only uses this general knowledge during the training, but not when he later answers ethical questions on his own behalf. In this case, he makes decisions based only on what he knows about their mental response characteristics, particularly individual values/interests/principles.
- the second storage device can receive regular updates, for which a clock system within the avatar (see (9)) is used.
- a communication channel is provided between the ethical avatar and its real counterpart, the person, so that the latter can train the avatar and preferably control the actions of their digital representative at any time or re-initiate the training if they so wish.
- Communication with requesting entities is also made possible, but is preferably subject to a limitation. Preferably, only inquiries from authorized entities in authorized subject areas are permitted. Authorization takes place
- a communication authentication memory including standard communication protocol function. This is a directory of those entities with which the avatar may communicate, with restrictions on which ones context the questions of the requesting entity may concern in order to be answered.
- the authorizations could be given either by the real person himself or by a central institution. Only authorized authorities may be permitted information within a clearly defined framework: For example, an authorized medical facility may question the avatar, but only questions with a medical connection are allowed (representation of the communication between the avatar and the outside world in Figure 2).
- the avatar can preferably check which instance has which information rights and to what extent. These keys also ensure that only the real person is authorized to make changes to the avatar's personal storage.
- the avatar (8) preferably contains a memory (protocol memory) in which the historical course the changes are stored (e.g. via blockchains or similar).
- the avatar has
- Both codes are stored in the second memory device (4) linked to the respective points in time, as are the training units in the personal memory (2) via the clock system with the training point in time be stored linked. This enables an absolute chronological classification of the person's personal attitudes (representation in FIG. 3).
- the ethical avatar can also (10) have a unit that relates to the basic accessibility of the real person, links a contact option, or provides information about the person's ability to be contacted.
- the real person has exactly one corresponding avatar device (ethical avatar), preferably with a corresponding identification tag, to which inquiries can be sent by various entities. All information about this person is processed via an avatar device.
- Multiple avatar devices (avatar system), generated in different application areas, can be assigned to a real person.
- the successful synchronization of different avatars to an individual could either be via an avatar identification number (provided by an avatar inquiry authority), a global unique identifier (like the patient ID or the biosample ID) or a (hashed) individual identifier (like a picture [ex developed the concept of a "gravatar” - a gravatar is an image that accompanies the user from website to website and acts as an identifier (see: https://de.gravatar.com).] or genetic "fingerprints" such as SNPs - single nucleotide polymorphisms - or STRs - short tandem repeats).
- these avatars are preferably synchronized with one another so that all avatars involved are up to date with regard to the mental reaction content, e.g. B. attitudes and opinions, remain their common real person. A comparison between the different avatars of a real person should be guaranteed.
- the platform combines the information from both sides: it analyzes which patients are tested in the laboratories and, through the requests for patient profiles from the research side, gets an insight into which of these data/samples from the laboratories are of interest for research. In this way, the platform can support both sides: It advises the laboratories on which samples/data would be worth expensive full sequencing of the genome (necessary for research) (because it knows which samples/data are of interest for research/economy) , and can help researchers put together suitable cohorts.
- the patients' ethical avatars help with this pre-selection, also because they know the moral attitudes of their real counterparts.
- the consent of the affected patients is required for the use of data/samples from patients. Ethical avatars could be used to make it easier to obtain these explanations (see below).
- Social science research Avatars could help with the pre-selection of which people could be interested in which research topics and survey content, or which people would object immediately
- the person concerned can rely on the fact that in the event of their own inability, the ethical avatar trained by them can anticipate decisions in their interest Unforeseen future research areas/areas of application: With a broader training of the avatar, in addition to specific questions of "Informed Consent " also learn more general moral attitudes/value concepts/principles of the person concerned and in future even anticipate answers to questions that go beyond those of "informed consent”.
- the avatar would have access to the corresponding hashes and could answer yes/no to questions that arose without having to know the encrypted information.
- This power would be particularly useful in the area of compiling patient/subject cohorts with certain common characteristics. Often z.
- cell lines are required whose donors have specific, for example genetic, similarities.
- the respective avatars could, upon request, confirm or not confirm the suitability of the cell lines whose donors they represent, without revealing the genetic information of their real-life counterpart.
- the search for suitable patients/subjects could be done very quickly (answering questions about a person's specific genetic characteristics), and the avatar could also help with the pre-selection without revealing the underlying sensitive data of the corresponding persons.
- the driver does not have to submit to the dictum of average moral standards, but can implement their personal ethical values on the road (of course within the framework of the legal framework) (just as they would do if they drove themselves).
- the responsibility of the person is supported by the help of the ethical avatar, the key would be managed and stored professionally, a loss is unlikely Monitoring of data protection:
- the avatar represents a link in the communication between people and (medical) facilities or research institutions .
