AI and digital twins: a powerful partnership for urban management | Computer Weekly
"The use of AI has manifold advantages when replicating worlds as complicated as functioning cities with millions of moving pieces. Digital twins serve as three-dimensional blueprints that allow instant changes to correct design or operational mistakes and incorporate emerging requirements when considering networks of and approaches to urban activities. Accuracy of representation, speed of creation and adjustments, and users' intuitive understanding of often hidden issues render these twins paradigm-changing tools."
"AI is a powerful enabler for digital twins to improve and accelerate the use of existing applications. In addition, AI will allow novel applications in the future that might not even be on the radar of developers today. In recent times, we have looked at how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in robotics, extended reality (XR) and more generally as part of an emerging network of mutualistic technologies has increased noticeably."
Artificial intelligence will substantially transform digital twins and many industrial operations by enabling improved and accelerated use of existing applications. AI allows incorporation of large and varied data sets to compare design elements and recommend alterations based on changing or conflicting requirements. AI-enabled twins can focus on environmental goals like reducing carbon footprint and on operational efficiency of infrastructure systems. Digital twins act as three-dimensional blueprints that permit instant corrections to design or operations and incorporation of emerging requirements across urban networks. AI increases accuracy of representation, speeds creation and adjustments, and improves intuitive understanding of hidden issues. The combination of AI with robotics and extended reality forms a mutualistic network of technologies enhancing twin capabilities.
