In September 2021 I had the opportunity of giving a webinar with Patrick Henz and Derrick de Kerckhove discussing the emerging technology of Cognitive Digital Twins -CDT. CDTs are sort of Digital Twin, embedding knowledge snd able to “execute” that knowledge. The word “execute” is the crucial one, setting CDTs …

The next years will see a growing impact of distributed knowledge, where “distributed” refers both to knowledge owned/embedded in humans, in organizations and in machines. In a way this is nothing new, what is new is the seamless access, actually co-presence of this distributed knowledge to the point where it …

Cognitive Digital Twins open up a whole new world. In these last 300 years we have developed amazing machines (our ancestors invented levers, the inclined plane, cogs, wheels, pullers and mills but the age of machines, as we understand them today, started with the industrial revolution as we learnt to …
