    1. A codified self is an AI model trained on the articulated knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics of a specific individual in a specific organisational context. Unlike traditional AI systems that aggregate data from thousands or millions of people, a codified self attempts to preserve the distinctive characteristics of one person.

      the word 'articulated' carries a lot of weight here. That is where the problem is. This is much less an issue if the wielder of the codified self is the self it codifies, bc then the wielder's intent and judgement wrt suitability comes with it, but a big issue if the organisation assumes it can use it as a replacement for the self in any meaningful way.
