A personal Cognitive Digital Twin -CDT- is supposed to mirror the knowledge of its twin, the person. Mirroring a person knowledge is more challenging than mirroring a robot knowledge (remember, IBM invented the CDT to mirror the increasing knowledge space of robots). Robots have a formal structured knowledge set (the …

In the past there were a few people, Leonardo da Vince to name but one, that had an encyclopedic knowledge (and even in those few cases one can object that there were a significant amount of knowledge that that did not have). The growth of knowledge in the last few …

If on the one hand the adoption of Cognitive Digital Twins -CDT- can be a game changer in the use of knowledge, on the other hand this is going to take time and, most likely, will start to take hold in some niches/sectors (my bet is that the Healthcare sector …

As shown in the picture, we are transitioning from accessing knowledge that is somewhere “out there” to living with knowledge that is flanking us, available when needed and in a form that can be used by us. This flanking requires an “agent” and the Cognitive Digital Twin may be it. …

I pointed out in the previous post the widening gap between the capability of our brain to acquire knowledge and the (growing) amount of knowledge potentially available. Teaming resources may work, and has worked, for companies but up to a certain point. Even a company cannot grow its resources to …

That we are on a path from information search to knowledge acquisition is clear. What is not clear is how the transition to knowledge and more specifically to the acquisition of knowledge will happen and involve. In the past acquiring knowledge was a high consuming (time and effort) task and …

Yesterday I was asked to share my views on the use of artificial intelligence in the area of information search. This was prompted by the quest of IEEE for better services to their members. IEEE is most likely the owner of the largest technical literature in the engineering domain with …

On December 14th we had a great discussion on Persistency as a crucial characteristics of the Metaverse. I was fortunate to have on the panel three great speakers, and most importantly three persons having hands on experience on the past evolution of the Metaverse and on the slates of possibility …

I had the pleasure to participate in the discussion of the Industry Advisory Board -IAB- of the IEEE Future Direction Committee led by Dejan Milojicic that resulted in the identification of three Megatrends directly affecting Industry. One of them is tied to Virtual Worlds, aka the Metaverse. Now an article …
