What does CC stand for in this context? Shouldn’t you define your acronyms near the top of the article? Feels pretty amateur coming from Google.


It has its own Google account, so maybe CC like in email? Which is "carbon copy".


The winning euphemism for creepy AI-powered behavior surveillance→profiling→nudging seems to be “digital twin”, so that tracks.


I wonder if the younger generations could explain the origins of carbon copy.


It smells of CCC (Command and Control Center). I would not be surprised if they are testing logistic managements of medium-large groups of people and re-use ideas to get a taste of the Palantir/Anduril/whatever defence contracts pie.


I think it’s a reference to “CC’ing” someone by email (they also use that in the examples).


Why…


It's not an acronym. It's a name.
