A new research framework called Counterfactual Self Architecture (CSA) has been proposed to address the challenge of AI simulating alternative life paths for individuals. Unlike typical predictive AI, CSA focuses on auditable counterfactuals by distinguishing between historical evidence, plausible assumptions, and fictional narratives. The architecture organizes counterfactual generation around explicit reference information, interventions at divergence points, and robust evaluation mechanisms to ensure assumptions are visible and auditable, rather than being silently resolved by the model.

IMPACT This framework could enable more nuanced AI analysis of historical figures and personal decision-making by making assumptions explicit.
