Integrating Digital and Sustainability Transformation Through Artificial Intelligence: A Framework for AI-enabled Twin Transformation

“Twin Transformation” is characterised by synergistic leveraging of efforts towards digital and sustainability transformation. It relies on digital transformation to develop digital solutions that can improve sustainability and on sustainability transformation to provide the goals and insights that are required to design these digital solutions. This integrated approach uses data streams and the predictive and generative capabilities of systems enabled by Artificial Intelligence (AI). These systems help to overcome the boundaries of human rationality in addressing the complex problem space that exists at the intersection of digital and sustainability transformation. This chapter provides a framework for AI-enabled Twin Transformation and calls for a joint discourse to master what are arguably the two key transformations of this and the following decades.
