The rise of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has serious implications for the metaverse, a comprehensive simulated 3D environment with real-time social interaction. The advent of this powerful technology, capable of generating human-like conversation, is seen as a potential threat to the metaverse. But is this true? Mark Zuckerberg, who popularized the concept of the metaverse recently, appears to be losing interest and has stopped pitching it to advertisers. Meta Reality Lab’s operating loss for the last quarter was $4.279 billion and they are now focused on their AI-powered language model, LLaMA.
On the other hand, there are strong arguments that the rise of generative AI could potentially boost the development of the metaverse in multiple ways. The technology could help marketers and businesses reduce their workloads and also bridge gaps between technical and non-technical knowledge. Additionally, it could boost cybersecurity and security for metaverse users.
Meta is a Silicon Valley venture company focused on developing a metaverse platform inclusive of immersive virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. Founded by Mark Zuckerberg, the company has made leaps and bounds to develop the metaverse into the largest virtual universe, hosting all sorts of user-created events and activities. Various companies, including 17 percent of businesses in the computer and information technology sector, view the Metaverse as a way to optimize their operations and cut costs.
Mark Zuckerberg is a well-known American entrepreneur and philanthropist, best known as the co-founder of Facebook. He first introduced the world to the concept of the Metaverse in 2012, building the concept as a safe and cost-effective way for organizations to conduct operations in a virtual environment. Additionally, in October of 2020, the 33-year-old tech mogul announced the launch of Libra–a cryptocurrency native to Facebook’s Calibra wallet. The company plans to introduce other currencies and digital assets in the near future, putting Zuckerberg on the path to offering one of the most viable digital currencies globally.
It is clear that generative AI has a positive effect on the growth of the metaverse—from helping with workload reduction to boosting security for users. At the same time, there is no doubt that metaverse users, too, can benefit from the enormous potential offered by the technology.
