Will generative AI make the digital twin promise real in the energy and utilities industry?

IBM Big Data Hub

Overcome hurdles to optimize digital twin benefits To realize the benefits of a digital twin, you need a data and logic integration layer, as well as role-based presentation. We can use this to scale the use of AI in identification of anomalies and damages on utility assets versus manually reviewing the image.
