In his latest edition of the Enterprise AI Minute, Episode 61, Aaron dives into the rapid advancements within virtual reality (VR) and both the good and bad that may come out of creating virtual representations of ourselves.
Highlights
00:00 — The Metaverse is a big topic (check out My Metaverse Minute for examples). It needs to combine several technologies to curate a genuinely personal experience.
01:01 — Getting multiple technologies to work seamlessly with one another requires massive amounts of data. The AI-Metaverse combination in particular is looking to solve this challenge through generative AI, or the ability to create new artificial content.
01:50 — The hyperreality version of the Metaverse aims to make the virtual world as close to reality as possible. Simulated worlds created through tech like the latest Unreal Engine platform have already begun to raise ethical questions over virtual identity and purposeful misrepresentation.
02:35 — Identity theft or even misrepresenting one’s true self in the Metaverse is a growing concern as technology built for fun, connection, and collaboration can easily be adapted to more malicious purposes.
03:25 — Some good will inevitably come out of Metaverse connection, but it’s important to be aware of the possible negative uses of this technology as it advances.
