INSIDE OMNIVERSE: THE DIGITAL TWIN REVOLUTION
What are digital twins? Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical assets, processes or systems that serve as real-time digital counterparts. For companies like GM, they provide a risk-free environment to test AI models before deployment.
Key applications:
• Autonomous vehicle training
• Factory layout optimisation
• Robotics programming
• Supply chain simulation
• Maintenance prediction
As organisations across sectors continue to implement AI and automation, platforms like Omniverse appear positioned to play an increasingly central role in how companies develop, deploy and manage intelligent systems. The adoption by industry leaders like GM signals a technological approach that may reshape how AI is developed across multiple sectors.
“ The era of physical AI is here, and together with GM, we’ re transforming transportation, from vehicles to the factories where they’ re made,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of Nvidia.“ We are thrilled to partner with GM to build AI systems tailored to their vision, craft and know-how.”
