The advent of workable AI solutions that can convincingly imitate human interactions represents an incredible technological revolution that could change the world. With each new iteration of AI chatbots like ChatGPT, the responses given are more sophisticated and more human-like, which not only boggles the mind, but also inspires ideas for how these intelligent systems can be used to improve our lives. Though many are sceptical and even sometimes scared about what AI could mean for the world, there are those who believe that it is yet another amazing tool in the huge range of digital innovations that much of the world now has access to. Mazer shares this belief. As such, we plan to integrate AI solutions into our Metaverse NFT VR penthouses so that you can benefit from its remarkable capabilities. In this article, we will outline just a few of the ways in which AI could be implemented in Cyber Tokyo.

Lifelike, AI-Powered Characters

AI bots are already in use across many businesses, being used for things like customer service, marketing, and sales. Many of these are simple constructions, only able to give basic information to known questions. However, recent improvements in AI mean that it is possible to create more complex characters with specific roles. In Cyber Tokyo, each VR apartment will eventually be populated with a number of these AI avatars, some of which could be purchased using the world’s currency, NEONs. These could potentially fulfil a number of different roles, depending on each user’s preferences:

The Bartender

Have you ever been on alone on a business trip and needed someone to chat to? The best place to go is always a local bar where you can converse with the bartender about day-to-day topics or get your troubles off your chest. Each VR penthouse in Cyber Tokyo has a room with a bar, so this would be the perfect place to place such an AI character. Then, you could simply put on your VR headset and relax at the bar with some gentle music and chew the fat with your very own personal bartender.

The Mentor

Similar to the bartender, but more focused on your self-improvement, the mentor will be able to learn about your life and listen to your problems before offering personalized advice to help you through your day. Maybe you’re struggling with work, or you have a specific problem you need help with – by popping into the Metaverse and having a quick chat with your mentor, you could get a new perspective on things that will solve your problem.

The Trainer/Sparring Partner

Metaverse developers have already made several exercise programs for virtual reality, meaning that it is now even easier for people to work out in the comfort of their own home. But imagine you go into your cyberpunk penthouse, and you have somebody to train with, somebody who can learn about your body and its specific needs. This AI avatar could provide you with the perfect workout for you each day while keeping you motivated to help you reach your exercise goals faster than ever before.

The Professor

One of the most interesting things about platforms like ChatGPT is that you can simply ask them questions and get perfect answers in a matter of moments. We are all used to asking search engines things and getting fairly good answers, but AI has taken this to the next level. Now imagine going into your VR penthouse and chatting to a professor about any topic you’re interested in and getting high-quality answers straight away from a human-like avatar. This could be a great way to learn about anything you want in an entertaining and engaging way.

Effortless Interfaces

It is important that, as the Metaverse develops, it doesn’t become exclusionary. Those with disabilities should be provided with ways to access the new technology, and AI can help with that. This could be through speech recognition, allowing natural language processing and fast translation so that people with varying speech and language abilities can easily communicate with one another. Translation in particular can help bring people together, either as friends or in a business capacity. The latter could open up the potential for all sorts of business partnerships that were previously unmanageable due to language barriers. With Metaverse NFTs such as Mazer’s VR penthouses, business meetings could be held in the Metaverse amongst people from various different countries without the need for anyone to speak another language, thus facilitating high-quality conversations and better understanding between companies. 

Digital Twins

A digital twin is a virtual copy of an object from the real world. With AI, accurate models of these items can be created in the Metaverse that can then be used to present prototype products to clients or show new products to customers. With the right instructions, AI can create accurate 3D representations of objects that can be interacted with by multiple people in the virtual world. So, in a VR apartment, users could be shown items of clothing such as shoes that are perfect representations of the physical object, helping them to make decisions on what to buy. They could even try them on in VR to make sure they look good before making a purchase. Other products such as new phones could be tested in VR so that the user knows exactly what they’re getting. For businesses, this could also provide excellent levels of data that could help them to understand the specific needs of their customers. 

Final Thoughts

AI has already begun to change the world as we know it, so now is the time to get on board with its unique attributes to make the most of what it has to offer. It won’t be long before it starts to become integrated into the VR property available to be minted in Cyber Tokyo right now. This living, breathing project is constantly growing and evolving, and the potential for AI to augment each VR penthouse is massive. We have only scratched the surface of what can be achieved with AI in the Metaverse. For now, Mintify users can get their hands on a VR penthouse in Cyber Tokyo via the Oculus App Lab on any VR headset, with a wider release available soon, so watch this space for more information.
