Definitions

Artificial intelligence: An autonomous and self-learning agency with the ability to perform cognitive functions in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans, such as learning from experience and reasoning.

Digital twin: A digital equivalent of a real-world object, and its behavior and states are mirrored over its lifetime in a virtual space.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI), a computer system which performs tasks that are usually associated with human intelligence or expertise without being explicitly instructed, is progressing rapidly in recent years. It is typically defined as an autonomous and self-learning agency with the ability to perform cognitive functions in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans, such as learning from experience and reasoning (Taddeo and...
