Recording of the Webinar: Simulating Societies through AI and Digital Twins
Did you miss our webinar "Digital Twins of Society: Simulations Powered by HPC”? The recording is now available online. The webinar offered inspiring insights into how artificial intelligence, cognitive modeling, and multi-agent simulation technologies help researchers understand and predict complex social phenomena such as the spread of disinformation, radicalization, and social cohesion.
The webinar featured leading experts in the field: Prof. Dr. F. LeRon Shults from NORCE and the University of Agder (Norway), who specializes in cultural cybernetics and modeling extremism, and Dr. Justin Lane, co-founder of CulturePulse AI and Scientific Director of the DEKK Institute, a pioneer in multi-agent AI and the creator of societal digital twins.
The webinar showcased real-world applications of these technologies, including simulations developed for the United Nations, the Norwegian government, and conflict modeling such as the Israel–Palestine crisis. It also introduced the Slovak Digital Twin initiative, which leverages the Devana supercomputer to run large-scale national simulations.
The program also included a discussion on the ethical aspects of using AI and the opportunities for international collaboration.
The webinar was organized by the National Supercomputing Centre Slovakia in collaboration with NCC Norway and NCC Portugal as part of the EuroCC project activities.

AI pomáha zachraňovať ženské životy 17 Dec - Strach z rakoviny prsníka je tichým spoločníkom mnohých žien. Stačí jedno pozvanie na preventívne vyšetrenie, jeden telefonát od lekára či jedno čakanie na výsledky – a myseľ je plná otázok: „Som v poriadku?“ „Čo ak nie?“ „Môže sa niečo prehliadnuť?“
Aj keď skríning potvrdí negatívny nález, obavy často pretrvávajú.
