    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.

      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.

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

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

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

      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.
