Automation
Digital Twin
A digital twin is a virtual simulation of a physical asset, system, or business process that runs in parallel with the real system and is continuously updated with live data. In AI automation contexts, digital twins are used to test process changes, train reinforcement learning agents, and predict the downstream effects of automation before live deployment.
