Human Digital Identity and AI

This thesis aims to establish whether the traditional view of identity -specifically, personal identity- can be applied to Autonomous Agents based on the BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) model. Its purpose is to provide a theoretical platform that may serve as a foundation for further discussions on th...
