In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most provocative questions in the world of digital transformation: can AI-powered digital twins ever replicate the mind of a human software tester?
Digital twins have transformed industries like aerospace, manufacturing, and healthcare. Now, the software world is asking whether we can virtualize not only the systems under test but the testers themselves. But behind the hype lies a set of cognitive, ethical, and technical challenges that most conversations avoid.
From the promise of predictive QA environments to the failures of autonomous testing agents, this episode explores:
- What digital twins are and how they’re being applied in software testing
- Why replicating human intuition, doubt, and risk awareness is so difficult
- Lessons from other industries that have implemented digital twin technology
- The cognitive blind spots AI still can’t see
- Real-world data points, ethical dilemmas, and a grounded vision for the future
If you work in quality assurance, AI, software development, or digital strategy, this episode will challenge your assumptions and offer a fresh lens on where digital twins truly fit in—and where they do not.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
