Abstract
Considering factors like technological up-gradation, digital awakening,
sustainability, and smart living with machines, the concept of smart cities and
smart homes have stepped in with the helping hand offered by digital twins in this
era of the 21st century. Aiming to connect physical objects with virtual ones,
digital twins using bi-directional connectivity helps maximize the potential of a
city, pushing it to grow beyond its capabilities. A rise in the use of virtual
simulation technologies reflects the importance of digital twin technology in
today’s complex world. With different countries around the world adopting the
concept of smart cities and homes to address various issues, the question is who
addresses the detriments of walking in with this new adaptability, and who will
be liable in situations of mishappening? The Narendra Modi government has
initiated the birth of smart cities in India, thereby mending ways for Amravati to
become the first city born out of digital twin technology. Walking in with the great
potential to transform urban governance and increase urban metabolism, digital
twins powered with Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, 5G, blockchain
technology have made a significant place in a man’s daily life. A feasible device
for urban planning, the subject of digital twins is divergent enough to have an
exhaustive coverage. Therefore, there lies room for further development, study,
and implementation of this technology. One must not forget that paralyzed laws
and regulations welcoming new sets of challenges possessed by the revolutionary
digital twins have been in the spotlight of discussion for some time now.
Channelizing the same stands utmost in the era of smart living with the help of a well-planned legal framework to address issues arising from the claws of this
technology.
