​AI & Digital Twin Integration to Empower Businesses and Transform Industries

​In this session, Professor Xiao Ma will share how a series of projects are using AI and digital twin technology to revolutionise industries, through an in-depth case via navigating challenges in beef farming value chain. You'll get a behind-the-scenes understanding of how AI and Digital Twins are empowering business across a range of industries and how a very traditional and left-behind industry - beef farming, has been transformed into a highly precision farming with high profitability via farm level digital twins, combining drone imagery, sensor data, and microbiome analysis to track feed efficiency, emissions, and animal growth. We’ll dive into the AI architecture, inference models, and how we’re deploying this tech in the field — all with a focus on scalable, real-world impact. If you’re into applying AI, data fusion, or systems thinking to messy, high-variability environments, this one’s for you.
