How digital twins framework could help ground agentic AI context

The Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) has recently published its first Agent AI Capabilities Periodic Table (AIA-CPT). This builds on a previous version for digital twins to understand some of the new capabilities and requirements when combining digital twins with agentic components. It’s comparable to extending retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and context engineering from documents to interconnected representations of physical systems.

The AIA-CPT comes in the form of an interactive framework that allows stakeholders to map out the requirements for the digital twin aspects required to support agentic AI systems. It can help a group of stakeholders from management, finance, and various technical domains to develop an interactive roadmap and checklist for agentic AI rollouts. It complements rather than replaces the existing Digital Twin CPT.

I spoke about this recent progress with Dan Isaacs, CTO of the DTC and Pieter van Schalkwyk, CEO of XMPro and co-chair of the AI ...
