Why Digital Twins Need an Intelligence Layer

Michael Jansen and Dr. Prasanta Bose join Evan Troxel and Randall Stevens to talk about what it takes to put an intelligence layer on top of a digital twin. Bose traces the idea back through reinforcement learning, Lockheed Martin satellites, and Starbucks before explaining why a real twin needs both a sensing layer and a cognitive one. They get specific about the decisions behind TwinMaster: refusing to build another design authoring tool and instead embedding their Arch-e copilot inside Revit, Archicad, and MicroStation; building a semantic, systems-oriented model so the AI can reason…
