The authors explain that digital twins are becoming smarter and can learn on their own by connecting computer models, data, and human input. To make them work well in different industries, they need to be able to communicate easily and follow shared rules. The authors also say that adding artificial intelligence and better computer thinking will help digital twins become more useful.
