description The growing scale of big data and artificial intelligence (AI)-based models has heightened the urgency of developing real-time digital twins (DTs), particularly those capable of simulating personalized behavior in dynamic environments. In this study, we examine the personalization of AI-based digital twins (DTs), with a focus on overcoming computational latencies that hinder real-time responses—especially in complex, large-scale systems and networks. We use bibliometric analysis to map current trends, prevailing themes, and technical challenges in this field. The key findings highlight the growing emphasis on scalable model architectures, multimodal data integration, and the use of high-performance computing platforms. While existing research has focused on model decomposition, structural optimization, and algorithmic integration, there remains a need for fast DT platforms that support diverse user requirements. This review synthesizes these insights to outline new directions for accelerating adaptation and enhancing personalization. By providing a structured overview of the current research landscape, this study contributes to a better understanding of how AI and edge computing can drive the development of the next generation of real-time personalized DTs.
