Generative AI for The Metaverse, Hope, Hype or Hell?

It is the keynote speech by Dr Christina Yan Zhang, CEO of The Metaverse Institute on Tomorrow Conference that took place in Belgrade, Capital of Serbia, 11th May 2023.

“We are living the generative AI hype, with everyone getting crazy about ChatGPT. And every day I read articles about how AI can disrupt the metaverse, how ChatGPT and metaverse are the perfect match, and especially about how the fact that if your organisation doesn’t have an AI strategy, it is already old and ready to be eliminated. It sounds familiar right? In 2021, everyone is saying the same thing about the Metaverse. Should you now use generative AI in your metaverse development or not?

On 22 March 2023, Microsoft researchers released a paper titled “Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4.” They claim that, GPT-4 can solve novel and difficult tasks that span mathematics, coding, vision, medicine, law, psychology, showing early signs of general intelligence, meaning that it has capabilities to exceed human intelligence.

This eyebrow-raising conclusion largely contrasts what OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been saying regarding GPT-4 who considered the model was “”still flawed, still limited.””

In the same week, Microsoft announced a new AI-powered Copilot for its Microsoft 365 services, designed to assist people with generating documents, emails, presentations, and much more.

How could we develop the future metaverse and human society in the age of singularity when the intelligence of machine exceeds human?”
