About the event
Digital twins and related solutions are becoming pervasive tools in many aspects of modern life, from urban planning to healthcare to heritage and nature conservation. But what implications does this have for the way society functions, how decisions are made and how we are governed? Who should have a say in designing these tools, and how should they be engaged? How do we reflect on the inherent biases in data, and guard against the harms this could cause? To what extent are we willing to delegate decision-making responsibility to the 'machine', and where do we need to retain the 'human in the loop'?
Join DTNet+ Societal Impact SIG for this online workshop to consider these questions and more, to feed into the development of a white paper outlining the societal challenges and opportunities that Digital Twins pose, and the research agenda that is needed to explore and address them.
This workshop is being organised by the DTNet+ Societal Impact SIG: Negar Ahmadpoor, Paul Cureton and Jennifer Schooling.
