The "Universal Deputies" project aims to construct a 3D scanning system combined with AI-generated virtual personas to explore the future of surveillance technology and its connection to the real world. Similar to how medical diagnostics evolved from X-rays to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), enabling doctors to fully understand patient information, this project investigates whether surveillance technology can be advanced to achieve comprehensive and three-dimensional spatial monitoring.

By using mathematical algorithms to create a real-time synchronized 3D virtual space, AI entities can exist and operate within it. As technology rapidly advances, we may soon enter an era where AI entities outnumber humans and transition from auxiliary roles to becoming social subjects. This shift raises important questions about the status and rights of AI, and if they were to gain legal personhood or citizenship, it would pose significant challenges to existing democratic systems. The increase in computational power might also change our perception of population and representation, necessitating the development of new trust mechanisms to address this philosophical shift.
