AI Can Build the Ultimate Metaverse Experience: Startup CEO
Renz Chong, the CEO of NFT startup BreederDAO, believes that AI technologies, such as Midjourney, have the potential to significantly impact and improve the creative process in metaverse projects. In a recent interview, he discussed several key ways in which AI is changing the landscape:
Democratizing Creativity: Chong highlighted that AI allows almost anyone, regardless of formal training or technical expertise, to become a creator in the metaverse. This means that enthusiasts and newcomers can now participate in building characters, digital assets, in-game objects, avatars, and even entire games.
Accelerating Content Creation: AI has the capacity to speed up the content creation cycle. Game designers, who traditionally spent considerable time creating mockups and demos, can now use AI tools like Midjourney to quickly generate initial layers of content. This increased efficiency can significantly reduce development time.
Bridging 2D and 3D Art: AI can bridge the gap between 2D and 3D art, opening up new creative possibilities. Chong's own company, BreederDAO, has developed AI Skins, a tool that transforms 2D prints into 3D NFTs instantly. This technology enables artists to explore new dimensions in their work.
Personalizing Gaming Experiences: AI-powered NPCs (non-playable characters) enhance gaming experiences by personalizing interactions. These NPCs can remember details about players and engage in tailored conversations, creating a sense of individuality and immersion in the virtual world.
BreederDAO, Chong's company, is actively integrating AI tools into the metaverse to help creators build unique worlds and characters more efficiently.
It's worth noting that while AI holds significant promise for the metaverse, as mentioned in the interview, creators and the metaverse industry as a whole also face challenges, including regulatory issues, privacy concerns, and energy costs. Regulatory obstacles, in particular, can be a major hurdle as they are needed to address various legal and security issues in the virtual world, similar to those faced in the real world.
