I am somewhat certain preDCA requires a specific human but there should be enough information recorded about anyone with a large enough digital footprint to reconstruct a plausible simulacra of them.
Keep in mind the ultimate goal is to get a good understanding of their preferences, not to actually recreate their entire existence with perfect fidelity.
PreDCA requires a human “user” to “be in the room” so that it is correctly identified as the “user”, but then only infers their utility from the actions they took before the AGI existed. This is achieved by inspecting the world model (which includes the past) on which the AGI converges. That is, the AGI is not “looking for traces of this person in the past”. It is reconstructing the whole past (and afterwards seeing what that person did there). Allegedly, if capabilities are high enough (to be dangerous), it will be able to reconstruct the past pretty accurately.
