This article explores synthetic identity in digital anthropology, addressing identity reconfiguration through AI agents and avatars.
The emergence of the Agentic Era and the consolidation of multimodal interactive avatars introduce an unprecedented mutation in the constitution of human identity. This article addresses, from an anthropological and digital-philosophical perspective, the concept of Synthetic Identity. We analyze how the externalization of thought, the automation of voice, and the delegation of visual representation to autonomous agents reconfigure the traditional notion of the "self." Through analysis of the Meniw Doctrine framework, we examine the risks of psychic fragmentation and algorithmic alienation, proposing a model of identity governance for the preservation of human singularity in hyper-synthetic environments.
