Digital Twins and Legal Liability: Navigating Accountability in Simulated Realities

Abstract

In this research protject, the focus is on how issues of responsibility are resolved when using digital twin technology within the United States. With digital twins playing a key role in healthcare, manufacturing and infrastructure, new problems concerning data integrity, cybersecurity, privacy and how reliable systems can operate tend to emerge. The paper describes the current legal situation, identifies important U.S. laws and relevant authorities and discusses the obstacles faced in the process of deciding who was at fault. The findings point out actual problems and solutions are suggested in terms of policies and technologies to close such gaps. Suggesting that comprehensive governance and a team approach are important, the study pushes for active laws, clear standards and creative improvements to make the use of digital twins safe and effective in significant industries.
