Enter the Metaverse _ AI Dreaming

The metaverse is a new paradigm that is still currently unknow regarding its future manifestations, however based on current shared gaming environments and internet avatars we see a general direction of its meaning.

Parallel to this development is the financial technology revolution with blockchain and cryptocurrencies, in which its original concept is essentially internet money. These two paradigm shifts collide, and we see latent potentials for a new industry in digital ecosystems fully equipped with social communities and digital commerce. This is the current state of things, but there is something even more revolutionary that too will collide or integrate into daily life and professional practice, that is artificial intelligence. AI will become accessible to everyone, equipped with solutions, ideas, images, strategies, knowledge that perhaps seems alien, however revolutionary.

The concept and architecture in the associated images are to envision the metaverse beyond gaming and avatars, but as a universe inside the mind of artificial intelligence. In the 1995 animated film “Ghost in the Shell” directed by Mamoru Oshii, we see a future with cyborgs, internal networks of communication integrated with the body and AI entities emerging. The internet is portrayed as a neural network rather than an interface and search engine. By using the current AI software for image creation, MA2 began working on a story board or series of concepts that best illustrates the potential for going inside the mind of AI. What is referenced as “AI Dreaming”, a continuous environment of information, aesthetics, experiences, and interaction is a foundation in which participants can engage and interact for new knowledge and experience. Within this AI neural network are many AI’s and human participants communicating in a new digital universe.
