Beyond Human Error: AI-Driven Digital Twin Technology
The first part of my blog article Beyond Human Error: Software Bug Led to Flight AI171 Tragedy dated July 14, 2025 outlines why putting the focus squarely on the pilots and the aircraft's fuel switches will only mislead the investigation . In this article we explore the critical actions Boeing and regulators need to pursue using AI-driven Digital Twin Technology , going beyond the mechanical fuel switch checks currently mandated by the Indian regulator, DGCA . What is Digital Twin Technology Digital Twin Technology involves creating a virtual replica of a physical object, process, or system using real-time data from sensors and other sources. This digital representation allows for simulation, analysis, and prediction of the real-world counterpart's behavior, enabling informed decision-making and optimization across various industries. Digital Twin models are designed for testing real-time software, including critical subsystems like the Generator Control Unit (GCU) and other a...
