Digital twins are virtual representations of natural, engineered, or social systems that can be dynamically updated with data from the physical twin (e.g. smart building, ocean, human heart) using a variety of sensory and techniques. The increasing use of ML and AI to enhance their predictive capacities, inform decision-making, and drive scientific insights demands critical investigation. The BRAID-funded Trustworthy and Ethical Assurance of Digital Twins (TEA-DT) scoping research project has engaged several researchers and practitioners of digital twins, across the domains of health, natural environment, and infrastructure. In this presentation, Dr Christopher Burr will discuss the results of this scoping research and introduce the TEA platform—an open-source and community-centred tool that helps project teams develop and communicate justifiable assurance that a digital twin realises key ethical properties.
