“we’re at the end of the era where it’s gonna be these giant models… what we keep the focus on is rapidly increasing capability”

Sam Altman, Co-founder and CEO, OpenAI

Our first blog post explored the practical applications of emerging technologies, such as the industrial metaverse, augmented reality, and IoT, emphasizing the role of co-creation, creativity, and the ethical concerns surrounding these advancements. The second post delved deeper into the impact of AI and machine learning across various sectors, highlighting their potential for enhancing user experiences, efficiency, decision-making, and the growing interest in the metaverse for immersive experiences and innovative marketing strategies.

In this week’s blog post, we shift our focus to recent news stories, examining how the transformative impact of artificial intelligence intertwines with the importance of collaboration in ecosystems. We’ll explore thought-provoking insights on harnessing the power of the digital age, discussing AI-generated music, generative games, and an intriguing collaboration between four seemingly unrelated challenger brands, all of which exemplify innovation and adaptability in creative industries.

Emerging Tech Frontiers: Metaverse & Generative AI

  • by

“The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone… Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it.”

Bill Gates

In this inaugural blog, we’re delving deep into two captivating news topics that emerged in latter half of March 2023 in WSJ, Harvard Business Review, MIT Technology Review, and Adweek. But before we immerse ourselves in the details, let’s take a sneak peek at these stories.

First up, there’s a noticeable transition from the consumer metaverse to more practical applications of emerging technologies, such as the industrial metaverse, augmented reality, and IoT. These game-changers are anticipated to make a substantial impact on the business world and society in the near future. Metaverses are creating enticing opportunities for value co-creation, as users, developers, and businesses join forces to forge virtual experiences, goods, and services. Furthermore, metaverses are becoming hotbeds for strategic creativity, enabling users to design, experiment, and innovate within these virtual spaces.

On the other side, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI are leaving their mark on a broad range of industries—from healthcare and drug discovery to customer service and business operations. Generative AI is emerging as a game-changer for businesses by augmenting human capabilities, fostering more effective stakeholder collaboration, and delivering customized solutions.… Read the rest

*Introduction to the Blog Series

The “original” Cambrian Age was a geological period lasting from 541-485 million years ago, known for the Cambrian explosion, a rapid diversification of life forms, and the emergence of complex life. Interestingly, that first Cambrian Age was also bracketed between two ice ages, which led to mass extinctions. Drawing a parallel to the AI field, there were periods of stagnation and reduced funding, known as “AI winters,” akin to the ice ages that occurred during Earth’s history. Today, however, we are witnessing a remarkable explosion in the AI landscape, a “second” Cambrian Age of sorts, driven by the swift development and adoption of generative AI technologies such as DALL-E and ChatGPT, which are giving rise to a significant surge in applications and devices connecting to a variety of systems based on large language models (LLMs). These LLMs are also linking with one another, forming intricate ecosystems of their own.

As we approach the singularity of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), it is difficult to speculate whether we will face another “AI winter” after this Cambrian Age of AGI, similar to the ice ages that occurred during Earth’s history. However, as humans, we possess the power to shape a future that not only avoids such an outcome but also envisions and fosters social and economic conditions capable of reversing what we know is an impending biospheric challenge.… Read the rest
