Artificial general intelligence is closer than expected

Whilst most of the attention around artificial intelligence (AI) thus far has been on ChatGPT, it is just the tip of the iceberg. In many ways, ChatGPT shouldn’t be thought of as true AI as it is – at its heart – just generative, learned behaviour. The future of AI, in contrast, is a system that can think for itself autonomously. The really exciting stuff is yet to come. The good news is that this evolution towards a brighter future is much closer than previously predicted.

Marketing in the Metaverse

With the metaverse, it becomes possible for consumers to visit their favourite retailer, get real-time inspiration depending on their requirement (be it an upcoming wedding, a holiday), and make a purchase after virtually trying on a new look.

How to navigate NFT ownership rights

Whilst NFTs promise to deliver new monetisation models for brands, artists and content creators, IP and copyright issues are becoming a real challenge and are in danger of negatively impacting the customer experience.

One of the issues is the overlaps that occur as NFTs continue to link more closely with real-time physical art and brands. After all, NFTs are just tokens that represent an asset and are completely separate from the physical asset itself. However, this grey area raises the question of who actually holds the rights to the asset. As of now, unless an external agreement is made between the buyer and artist, the copyright to an NFT still belongs to the artist. But, when sums are sometimes in the thousands, this is unacceptable for many customers.
