Predictive Autonomy: A Framework for Ethical AI Co-Ownership

Predictive Autonomy: A Framework for Ethical AI Co-Ownership introduces a new concept of authorship in which human creativity remains in dialogue with algorithmic prediction. Coined and developed by Elle Dawson, this framework proposes that artists and models should retain agency over their digital counterparts — ensuring that AI systems trained on their likeness or data evolve through consent, co-authorship, and ethical participation. The paper outlines how Predictive Autonomy can be implemented within art, fashion, and technology to preserve creative sovereignty in an era of predictive modeling and digital twins. It argues that foresight and ethics must evolve together, transforming prediction itself into a site of conscious creation.
