Using Agent in Digital Twins to Model mis/dis/mal-information
Digital twins are increasingly used by businesses to model business processes. In networked industries, the digital twin model can be used to demonstrate compliance in a regulatory technology (RegTech) application. Social media platforms and other platform businesses also maintain digital twins. Here, the model is one of people. However, agent-based models of people often fail to include anything other than heuristic approaches to problems. This seminar will investigate a range of issues associated with digital twin modelling, including considering learnings from human decision-making models.
