Adaptive Systems Using Generative AI
• Directly take inputs from business user or IT engineer and act on that . In this option , the business user could directly give instructions using Generative AI to perform steps . This will require the ability of digital twin to take control actions from the Act module .
The frameworks and technologies referred to demonstrate that building adaptive and resilient systems is possible with the technologies available today . Generative AI with the ability to bring context to information , summarize and generate code opens multiple possibilities .
In summary , digital twins provides a platform that enables digital representation of physical systems . This provides the necessary mechanism to infer , understand and control underlying systems in a holistic manner .
Generative AI provides a mechanism to understand “ unknown knowns ,” identify root causes and generate a plan that could help in resolving the problem . The resolution needs to be reviewed and approved by human-in-middle .
The resolutions could be implemented as generated behavioral tree building blocks so that there is control on what is getting generated and implemented .
6.4 BUSINESS BENEFITS
Resilience : Adaptive systems can be robust and resilient to failures . They can also adapt well to uncertainties and new scenarios not encountered before .
Extend life of products / systems : Adaptive systems extend the life span of products / systems by adapting themselves to new situations . This increase returns from systems and overall return on investment .
Adding new features : Adaptive systems with necessary architecture can support the addition of new features by operators , business users , customers and / or IT engineers . This enhances customer satisfaction . It also extends product lifespan and increases return on investment .
6.5 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
It is easy to get carried away with the generative AI wave and build dynamic adaptive systems . However , one needs to consider the following :
• Security – It is important to ensure the human-in-middle is an authenticated and authorized user . A hacker gaining access to such adaptive systems will lead to catastrophic results .
• Guard rails – Need to establish boundaries and guard rails around the adaptive systems to ensure that the systems don ’ t adapt themselves to unintended or malicious purposes .
