fully functional Digital Twin. The quality of data is much higher but

can take a longer duration to attain a significant ROI. While in the

second approach, a more practical and visualization-focused

method is leveraged by making data visible and easily

understandable, with less prioritization on data quality. The data

quality is progressively improved over time, but organizations can

attain a faster ROI while taking key stakeholders along the Digital

Twin journey.

Can you elaborate on the role of AI powered digital twins in

building smart and sustainable cities? What will future cities

look like?

Due to the sheer volume of data created within the infrastructure

domain across various processes like design and maintenance, AI

holds the potential to transform this sector. In line with this, we have

been investing in AI for several years now, with a focus on diverse

domains ranging from asset operations to road maintenance.

Moreover, Bentley Systems has introduced OpenSite+, the first

engineering application leveraging generative AI for civil site design.

The tool enables engineers to swiftly and accurately design

residential, commercial and industrial sites, significantly boosting

productivity and accuracy.
