The Seeker’s Protocol - Author Yourself in an AI-Mediated World

Greg Twemlow's article, "The Seeker's Protocol," addresses the increasing influence of AI in defining individual identities and advocates for a proactive approach to self-definition. Twemlow introduces the concept of a "Seeker," an individual who actively authors their identity rather than passively allowing algorithms to do so. To aid in this process, he presents the Personal Ethics Schema (PES), a structured framework for articulating one's core values and beliefs. Complementing this is the Personal Ethics Protocol (PEP), which governs who has access to this defined identity. Ultimately, the article encourages readers to take control of their narrative in an AI-mediated world by intentionally curating and protecting their true selves.
