Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse
Before learning about how these complementary technologies are transforming the current and future technology ecosystem, it is time to review what they consist of exactly the Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence is understood as the capacity of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Tasks such as learning, decision making and pattern recognition.
They are a combination of algorithms that seek to act and/or think like human beings. Its applications in the business world have great potential to speed up and deepen data analysis and content personalization.
At present, the Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) has proven to be a great ally also in the area of creativity, with the generation of images and texts of great detail, from a simple text command, known as prompt.
What is the Metaverse?
The Metaverse is defined as a virtual universe composed of multiple linked three-dimensional digital worlds. A universe where humans interact socially and economically through avatars, NFTs and cryptocurrencies.
The Metaverse is the next generation of the Internet.in which we can enjoy an immersive, three-dimensional and multi-sensory experience thanks to the combination of different devices and technologies such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and the latest in web technology3.
It is a allegory of the real world, but without physical limitations.. An extended reality with only one creative limit: our imagination.
Both innovations are revolutionizing the way we interact with technology. Transforming the way we we work, learn and create.
Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence as complementary technologies
We know the advantages that these technologies provide separately, but what if they work together? The combination of Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse, the XR world, allows for the development of a interconnection and interaction deeperbetween different systems, machines, devices and people.
Transforming human-machine communication and user experience. Enriching immersive experiences with a higher level of realism and personalization.
The Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence are complementary technologieswhere the influence of Artificial Intelligence allows the development of new interaction environments in the Metaverse that are much more realistic, personalized and adapted in real time to both the company and the user who is living the immersive experience.
AI applications in the Metaverse
Going into more detail on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in the MetaverseThese can be divided into: applications in the creation and development of the virtual spaces of the Metaverse, and, on the other hand, in the interactions and experiences that the user can live in these spaces.
Creation of more realistic avatars
Artificial Intelligence is the key to create more realistic and autonomous virtual characters in the Metaverse.
These AI-powered avatars learn from the environment, from the other elements in the space and above all from the user interactions. Allowing to adapt to their behaviors, generating more personalized, entertaining and interactive experiences.
Generation of virtual spaces in real time
In addition to allowing the development of more realistic and detailed spaces, the AI allows the Metaverse itself to automatically learn from the user to create a personalized 100% experience. Generating content recommendations and even changes in the design of the space and user experience based on interests, preferences and behaviors.
Even the most experienced users can produce content in the Metaverse. With Artificial Intelligence applied to 3D art, the users themselves will be able to generate the content (props, complements, garments...), making the experience much more interactive and profound for the user, creating spaces where they can explore their creativity and imagination.
Data analysis
All the changes and adaptations in real time are thanks to the Artificial Intelligence's ability to capture all the dataThe company is able to analyze them in their entirety and make decisions in real time.
These functionalities are based on the user behaviors and preferences by interacting with the entire virtual space.
Undoubtedly, the user feedback provided by the Metaverse experiences goes beyond the choice of one add-on or another. The avatarization and the Artificial Intelligence allow to study the human behavior of users. Obtaining insights about their preferences, how they move through the content and live the proposed experiences.
AI and Metaverse by sector
Having analyzed the most generalized applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Metaverse, it is now time to delve into the applications that the combination of both technologies offer to each sector in particular.
