Dear Afolabi I. Awodeyi,
I would like to refer to the following current megatrend in Information Technology:
Development of Digital Twins and their Integration into the IoT.
A Digital Twin (DT) is a virtual image of a Physical Twin (PT). A PT can represent: a physical object, a simple / distributed system or a process. A DT can also represent a Human in virtual space. The creation of DTs is based on a Knoweledge Database (KD). To set up the KD, a Big Data Analysis with various AI-based processes must be used.
The main goal of every Digital Twin is to maintain the complete life cycle of its Physical Twin
The Human Digital Health Twin (HDTH) will be extremely important for IoT-based Health Care Solutions.
In particular, I would like to point out the following areas where DTs will be of great importance:
  • DTs in the Industrial IoT, Industrie 5.0
  • HDTH-based Intelligent Healthcare Systems
  • DT-based Concepts for Smart Building and Smart Home
  • Intelligent DT&IoT-based Service for Smart Cities
  • DTs for Autonomous Driving and Collision Avoidance
  • DTs for complex Energy Systems, DTs and Energy 4.0
  • DTs for remote Maintenance and Inspection of Systems
  • Use of DTs for Climate Protection
Best regards
Anatol Badach

Blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI)" refers to the convergence of these two technologies, which brings new value to business through authenticity, augmentation and automation.
Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that provides an immediate, shared and transparent exchange of encrypted data simultaneously to multiple parties as they initiate and complete transactions. A blockchain network can track orders, payments, accounts, production and much more. Since permissioned members share a single view of the truth, they gain confidence and trust in their transactions with other businesses, along with new efficiencies and opportunities.
Artificial intelligence (AI) uses computers, data and sometimes machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind. AI encompasses the sub-fields of machine learning and deep learning, which use AI algorithms that are trained on data to make predictions or classifications. The benefits of AI include automation of repetitive tasks, improved decision making and a better customer experience.
Combined values of blockchain and AI
Authenticity Blockchain’s digital record offers insight into the framework behind AI and the provenance of the data that it is using, addressing the challenge of explainable AI. This insight helps improve trust in data integrity and in the recommendations that AI provides. Using blockchain to store and distribute AI models provides an audit trail, and pairing blockchain and AI can enhance data security.
Augmentation AI can rapidly and comprehensively read, understand and correlate data at incredible speed, bringing a new level of intelligence to blockchain-based business networks. By providing access to large volumes of data from within and outside of the organization, blockchain helps AI scale to provide more actionable insights, manage data usage and model sharing, and create a trustworthy and transparent data economy.
Automation AI, automation and blockchain can bring new value to business processes that span multiple parties — removing friction, adding speed and increasing efficiency.
