Metaverse has become the hottest topic on the internet since 2021. Though the topic is still in the initial stage, it has gained enough public attention and made biggies look at it.
What is Metaverse?
Metaverse is a shared virtual world that people can access through the internet. This virtual world is very much close to the real world, however, here, in the metaverse, you will interact with people through the avatar – the digital version of yourself.
What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of computers to perform tasks that are actually performed by humans, like decision-making, speech recognition, translation etc.
In other words, systems can imitate human intelligence to perform tasks and improve themselves depending on the information they collect.
How AI Helps Metaverse?
As we become more close to online life and create various digital technologies, AI will be always there to help us. Just like for any other digital invention, AI also helps people to make better use of the metaverse. By managing traffic resources and helping everything to run smoothly, AI supports creating an effective metaverse. It also identifies and protects the metaverse from security threats.
AI helps you find people and places based on your interests and you can also easily communicate with others in the metaverse using AI by translating messages. AI also helps you create realistic avatars and places by making the metaverse an immersive experience. This way AI helps the metaverse in infrastructure, platform, and experience layers.
AIOps
AIOps combines big data and machine learning to automate IT operations processes. It is an integral part of the metaverse as it helps manage all the necessary components, including hardware, software, and communications. Managing these components is quite essential to ensure the robustness of the metaverse infrastructure and provide insights that are relevant to the upper layers. AIOps also helps resolve issues quickly and effectively and so users can use metaverse without any hassle.
Inclusive User Interface
Metaverse is more about providing an immersive experience to all users. However, there are some limitations to this new digital world. While normal people can improve their social experience and enjoy many benefits, people with disabilities feel it hard to get on with the metaverse. Here comes AI as a saviour.
AI helps in image recognition for people with visual disabilities, automatic translation, intelligent exoskeletons to interact with the digital world, and brain-computer interfaces to make sure that every user enjoys the metaverse.
Best Creative Partner
AI is the best option for creative applications. In recent times, GPT-3, the latest NLP model has chosen AI as its creative partner (to generate creative writing based on user inputs). However, creative partner means not just creating content, but can be useful in many different ways including creating realistic images from texts or drawings. So, there’s no doubt AI could be a powerful creative partner and the best example is Promethean AI, a speech-activated creative partner for 3D spaces.
Metaverse Development
Along with NLP, AI is a necessary technology for the metaverse development in the areas of computer vision, VR, and AR. AR technology AI is used in camera calibration, detection, tracking, immersive rendering, and more, which helps in the usability of AR applications.
AI generates most of the 3D images, animations, and speech in the metaverse. For virtual transactions, machine learning models can be used to automate smart contracts, distributed ledgers, and support other blockchain technologies.
Better Accessibility
Efforts are being made to make metaverse a safe and secure place and improve accessibility to every user. And this could be possible through AI. AI helps in improved social networking in the metaverse. For example, AI can be used to create digital assistants to help users navigate in the metaverse and find what they want. It also monitors user behavior and avoids abusive or hate speech.
So, with the help of AI, we can make the metaverse an immersive experience for users and make it the best place.
