Ability to have a digital twin of the human is plausible
What in the world is a digital twin?
This isn't the first time we've seen Nvidia touch on "digital twins." In a Nvidia blog post, a digital twin is defined as "a virtual representation...of a real-world physical asset or system, which is continuously updated."
The post goes on to say, "Digital twins aren't just for inanimate objects and people," implying that you can have a digital twin for a human, but the way that Huang is involving biology in this discussion makes it seem like simulating actual human bodies could be a possibility.
While the idea might sound outlandish, it's not altogether unprecedented.
Researchers have suggested, "it is possible to construct [a] Human Digital Twin," but there's still "a long way to go because of not only its extreme complexity, but also so many aspects involved, especially the security and social ethics problem."
Huang has accurately predicted the next big thing with AI, so it's entirely possible he could be right about this, but only time will tell if Nivida has what it takes to go full-on Matrix.
