WE have to tell THEM what the value of OUR data is - not be dictated to the other way around. We've already seen the likes of MidJourney and OpenAI just not giving a flying F how they get the data to train their models so the idea of sovereignty to me is being pushed front and centre to not only have greater and more granular control over your own information but also the control to monetize it as you see fit if these centralised AI companies want to use it. Some of the core tenets such as decentralisation, open source and data sovereignty clearly have more of a part to play now to serve and protect individual interests around using AI.

This is potentially where Web3 comes into play. The definition of the metaverse moving further outside of just another virtually immersive presence makes much more sense now it crosses different realities that we know of (Web, XR, VR, AR, Physical, Audio etc) and in order to manage this we're going to need AI.ĪI is going to have to sit as a kind of glue that harmonises all that data across multiple boundaries and ensures that experiences can make sense wherever or whenever you are within them and that others who are there in whichever layer they happen to be in experiencing it with you are also getting the same. The Metaverse in all its dimensions is going to need new levels of data orchestration that we may not have experienced before, well beyond IOT or Digital Twinning for starters. I was thinking about it this morning before I fly out to SplitX to meet up with some tech luminaries like Tony Parisi, Amy Peck, Avi Bar-Zeev and Rika Nakazawa. I think the #metaverse and #web3 are as relevant now as they were, even more so in the wake of #artificialintelligence.

Hold on to hope al jackson
