- BonusAI, gaming communities and the Metaverse - How can we bring these together to build the Metaverse of the future (bonus content from our chat with Mohamed Ezeldin of Animoca Brands)
9:52
This is a special bonus episode from our chat with Mohamed Ezeldin of Animoca Brands. We had to edit out this piece to keep within our time limit, but it was worth sharing as a separate episode.
In this short extract, we talked about how we can bring in existing gaming communities into the Metaverse. Right now, the communities that have the best chances of adopting the Metaverse (gaming communities) are skeptical about the Metaverse movement and how it could impact the gaming industry, with many large gaming companies suffering huge backlash at even the mention of considering adopting technologies like NFTs into their games (NFTs are often considered to go hand-in-hand with the Metaverse).
We also touch on AI and how this might impact the Metaverse. We all agreed this will have a positive impact on the Metaverse movement as a whole.
