The AI Metaverse Unveiled

'The AI Metaverse Unveiled' is an accessible yet comprehensive textbook that delves deeply into the foundational aspects, definitions, key players, milestones, investments, emerging trends, capabilities, and essential statistics needed to fully grasp the advent of the "AI Metaverse": the fusion of artificial intelligence, 3D immersive technologies, blockchain, and Web3.
The book is based on 22 research papers, beginning with the origins of the Metaverse, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain, and constructs, from the bottom up, the rationale and key elements behind these technologies. The second half of the book examines industry applications, from Gaming, Retail, Marketing, Sports, Healthcare, Learning and Skill Acquisition to Law, Ethics, Cybersecurity, Investing, and Space Exploration. The grand finale is a chapter containing 22 bold predictions regarding the impact of AI and the Metaverse on society.
One of the key purposes of the book is to educate through a multitude of examples how AI and the Metaverse are already being used by the most agile of brands and professionals to enhance the customer experience and position companies as leaders and innovators, especially in the eyes of Generation Z.
Careful attention has been placed on making the text as didactic as possible through the use of a fictional AI protagonist that introduces each chapter, chapter summaries, key takeaways, bold-faced key words and concepts, and a deliberate incremental layering of sometimes complex ideas, chapter by chapter, to assist the reader in building a full understanding of the potential of the AI Metaverse. By learning through example, the reader will gain sufficient understanding of the AI Metaverse to make their own predictions about what the future may bring.
