Digital Doppelgängers: Navigating Identity, Ethics, And Voice In The Age Of Ai Personas

Authors : Gafour Zahra Ines . Chehri Youcef .

Abstract

In an era increasingly shaped by algorithmic agency and synthetic expression, the emergence of AI-generated personas presents a significant challenge to established understandings of authorship, identity, and pedagogical ethics. This paper explores the implications of artificial voice simulation within English Language Teaching (ELT) and English Language Learning (ELL) contexts. Grounded in interdisciplinary perspectives from critical pedagogy, digital ethics, and posthumanist thought, the study interrogates how AI personas complicate learner agency, authenticity, and voice construction. By situating these concerns within contemporary classroom practices, the paper reframes educational technologies not as neutral tools but as active agents in reshaping how knowledge, authorship, and identity are produced and contested. Ultimately, the study advocates for a pedagogical paradigm that is both critically responsive and ethically grounded amid rapidly evolving digital realities.
