The emergent industrial metaverse

An interface between the real and digital worlds will transform how we work, live, and interact.

The industrial metaverse—a metaverse sector that mirrors and simulates real machines, factories, cities, transportation networks, and other highly complex systems—will offer to its participants fully immersive, real-time, interactive, persistent, and synchronous representations and simulations of the real world.

Existing and developing technologies, including digital twins, artificial intelligence and machine learning, extended reality, blockchain, and cloud and edge computing, will be the building blocks of the industrial metaverse. These will converge to create a powerful interface between the real and digital worlds that is greater than the sum of its individual parts. 

Annika Hauptvogel, head of technology and innovation management at Siemens, describes the industrial metaverse as “immersive, making users feel as if they’re in a real environment; collaborative in real time; open enough for different applications to seamlessly interact; and trusted by the individuals and businesses that participate”—far more than simply a digital world. 

The industrial metaverse will revolutionize the way work is done, but it will also unlock significant new value for business and societies. By allowing businesses to model, prototype, and test dozens, hundreds, or millions of design iterations in real time and in an immersive, physics-based environment before committing physical and human resources to a project, industrial metaverse tools will usher in a new era of solving real-world problems digitally.   ...

There are several steps you can take using AI to ensure your data is secure.     By Allison Proffitt in AITrends

BOSTON—AI is data; data is AI. They’re really the same, Alex Pentland told a packed opening plenary session on the second day of the AI World Conference and Expo. “The winner is the person who has the most data. That’s probably not you, but you have friends who have data. They probably aren’t going to just give it to you; you have to figure out how to collaborate.”

Pentland directs the MIT Connection Science and Human Dynamics labs. He’s working on getting AI into the mainstream “peacefully”, he said. That is, no riots in the street, no mass unemployment, no cyber security onslaughts.

His group at MIT, sponsored by Ernst and Young, IBM, MasterCard, Orange, and others, builds pre-standards open source code—Kerberos, the network authentication protocol, for example—and tackles the big questions: How to ensure compliance, control risk, ensure privacy, and security? “Privacy is coming,” he warned, “not just in Europe and California, but everywhere.” ...
