Yesterday I gave a talk at a major book fair (that was convenient since it took place in Turin, my home-town) in an event dedicated to explore the various aspects of Artificial Intelligence. I was the one asked to talk about technology, where we are and what we can expect. …

There are already several fully autonomous “trains” in operation but they are using dedicated rails, like in the case of metro/underground services. However, so far autonomous. self driving trains operating on the railway network were not existent. This is going to change in December 2021 as Deutsche Bahn will start …

The Covid-19 epidemic has stimulated research around the world for ways to early detection of infection. Since the virus leads to a variety of symptoms that change from person to person the quest for a symptom based detection is difficult. On the other hand, even the possibility to raise a …

Researchers at the University of Cambridge, UK, have used AI to create Digital Twins of people’s body, the digital twin of your body. The goal is to help monitoring your wellbeing and detect the insurgence of sickness before you perceive any symptoms. Having the possibility to become aware that something …

Artificial Intelligence has progressed to the point of making possible to create pieces of music, novels and newspapers articles, paintings… imitating the style of a given artist to the point that it can fool “experts” (take a look at the clip, where original and AI Bach pieces are played – …

Stage 3 Cognitive Digital Twins at stage 3 reflect the knowledge space of their physical entity (notice that when CDTs have a robot as physical entity they are not reflecting the robot knowledge, they are the robot knowledge) not at a specific point in time but continuously. This requires a …

The roadmap of digital twin evolution defines V stages (more might be added as evolution progresses): the Digital Twin is used to model the physical entity, as example during the design phase or to document a Physical Entity the Digital Twin mirrors the Physical Entity and is used, during the …

MIT has just announced the establishment of a new research centre, the Lisa Yang Centre for Bionics,  focussing on the fusion of  human body and advanced technology aiming at overcoming disabilities. This includes use of exoskeletons and brain computer interfaces. The centre start with an initial funding of 24 M$ …

Just as I am writing these posts I stumbled on the Wired article published yesterday  “Humans can’t be the sole keepers of Scientific Knowledge“. Worth reading. According to that article 190,000 scientific papers will be published this year, 2021, more than 1 every 3 minutes. If you plan to dedicate …

The area of Personal Cognitive Digital Twins is very recent and is evolving rapidly. The Digital Reality Initiative was one of the first to study the aspect of representing knowledge owned by a person (and a company) in a digital form mapping it onto the IEEE knowledge ontology (some 14,000 …
