![Why AI Counts as the Biggest Factor Behind Metaverse growth?](http://media.assettype.com/analyticsinsight%2Fimport%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F04%2FWhy-AI-Counts-as-the-Biggest-Factor-Behind-Metaverse-growth.jpg?w=480&auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max)
The Metaverse AI has become one of the hottest topics in technology and socioeconomics. The role of AI in Metaverse involves combining various technologies such as VR, 3D animation, and blockchain and many companies are already working on creating services for this new digital world. Even Facebook, the tech giant, has changed its name to Meta. This shows that Metaverse growth is really aiming to become the next big mainstream technology. Much has been said about the role of blockchain in the Metaverse, but thanks to the big hype of NFTs, we are left wondering what is being said about the intersection of the Metaverse AI.
It is a massively-scaled, persistent, interactive, and interoperable real-time platform comprised of interconnected virtual worlds where people can socialize, work, transact, play, and create. The Metaverse AI will like a distant evolution of Web3. In its most complete form, it will be a series of decentralized, interconnected virtual worlds with a fully functioning economy where people can do just about anything they can do in the physical world.
AI can play a relevant role in the future of the metaverse, not only from a product perspective but also considering how AI could make the Metaverse more inclusive.
According to Coinbase, the platform needed to support the Metaverse AI will have to be always on and massively scalable. In such a demanding scenario, AIOps will play a relevant role to manage all the necessary infrastructure including hardware, base software, and communications. But what is AIOps? The combination of "big data and machine learning to automate IT operations processes, including event correlation, anomaly detection, and causality determination." The availability of these capabilities will be key not only to ensuring the robustness of the Metaverse infrastructure but also to providing actionable insights that are relevant to the upper layers.
One of the keys to the potential success of the Metaverse AI is the promise of highly immersive experiences. While this can improve social interactions for some people, it can also become a huge wall for people with disabilities to access this future digital world. Not only that, people with a low level of digital capabilities can find themselves out of this new social economy and experience. That is why Role of AI in the Metaverse is crucial in guaranteeing the access of everyone to the Metaverse, despite their abilities. Some relevant technologies in this space could be:
Image recognition for people with visual disabilities
Automatic translation
Intelligent exoskeletons to interact with the digital world
Brain-computer interfaces for the most vulnerable (e.g. Cognixion)
Web3 is usually referred to as a democratized version of Web2. We should not let anyone behind (this also applies to social and economic limitations).
Following the idea of democratization, the Metaverse AI (and its decentralization layer) promises to allow creators and users to exchange digital assets and entitlements easily, protecting ownership and ensuring disintermediation from big technology corporations. But will this promise come true? As an example, Adidas recently launched its first NFT. Although purchases were limited to 2 by person, the sale was sold out in less than a second and one single person was able to buy 330 in a single transaction. Is this really the future of internet democratization? Maybe the power will move away from big corporations, but it does not seem like it will be returned to the people. Even if it does, only a few with software skills are likely to benefit.
In this case, enhanced smart contracts, incorporating AI, could help identify this kind of scenario. As mentioned before in the AIOps section, infrastructure information related to transactions could be used to trace this kind of "anti-democratic" activities, although it would not be enough to stop blockchain transactions once they have been completed.
One of the best examples of this set of technologies is NVIDIA's Omniverse. The set of components that this platform offers to create digital worlds and simulate real ones is just impressive. From massive world-building and simulation to virtual environments to test autonomous robots/AIs to Artificial Intelligence voice technologies, NVIDIA technologies are a good example of how AI will be key in creating digital spaces in which social interactions will take place in the Metaverse.
