This new model allows users to <strong>ask open questions, receive real-time feedback, and make decisions<\/strong> with the support of an AI system that adapts, guides, and facilitates learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smarter training, powered by human-centric technology<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this experience possible, the team has completely restructured the simulation\u2019s architecture.
