摘要:Over the past decades, digital twins have evolved from ideas on paper into living companions that reflect and interact with the physical world. By staying in sync with their real counterparts, they help us monitor, understand, and improve systems in ways we could not imagine before. Today, with the power of AI, immersive technologies (AR, VR, XR), and 5G, digital twins are moving from simple replicas into intelligent partners. With multimodal large language models (MLLMs), they can see, hear, and interpret data more like humans, opening the door to real-time, adaptive, and personalized interaction. The influence reaches far beyond industry. In healthcare, education, and smart cities, AI-augmented digital twins can enhance well-being, extend human abilities, and create new opportunities for societies around the world. In this talk, I will share how AI is changing digital twins from tools into transformative forces that shape our future. It is, in the end, a journey not only about technology, but about humanity building systems that enrich life.
