It's interesting how Sprinklr and Microsoft frame Digital Twins and power users. I wonder if there's sufficient research on how these models perform with low-resource languages, especially considering the diverse linguistic landscape in Asia. Are these "replicas" truly effective when the digital environment is primarily English-centric?

While Sprinklr's vision of Digital Twins as the "front of your brand" sounds efficient for CX, it raises flags for consumer protection. The EU AI Act is already looking closely at how AI systems interact with individuals, especially concerning transparency and accountability when these systems become the primary point of contact. This isn't just about efficiency; it's about trust and rights.

the Sprinklr angle is interesting but in healthcare, our digital twins go way beyond just CX. we're building models of entire patient journeys, from initial diagnosis to post-treatment care. the regulatory overhead for something like that is immense though, not like automating a FAQ bot. i'm thinking about how their "front of your brand" concept would clash with patient privacy.
