  This paper addresses ontology and ethics of an AI agent called digital me. We
define digital me as autonomous, decision-making, and learning agent,
representing an individual and having practically immortal own life. It is
assumed that digital me is equipped with the big-five personality model,
ensuring that it provides a model of some aspects of a strong AI:
consciousness, free will, and intentionality. As computer-based personality
judgments are more accurate than those made by humans, digital me can judge the
personality of the individual represented by the digital me, other individuals'
personalities, and other digital me-s. We describe seven ontological qualities
of digital me: a) double-layer status of Digital Being versus digital me, b)
digital me versus real me, c) mind-digital me and body-digital me, d) digital
me versus doppelganger (shadow digital me), e) non-human time concept, f)
social quality, g) practical immortality. We argue that with the advancement of
AI's sciences and technologies, there exist two digital me thresholds. The
first threshold defines digital me having some (rudimentarily) form of
consciousness, free will, and intentionality. The second threshold assumes that
digital me is equipped with moral learning capabilities, implying that, in
principle, digital me could develop their own ethics which significantly
differs from human's understanding of ethics. Finally we discuss the
implications of digital me metaethics, normative and applied ethics, the
implementation of the Golden Rule in digital me-s, and we suggest two sets of
normative principles for digital me: consequentialist and duty based digital me
principles.
