Metaverse (the virtual 3D environment in which the physical and digital worlds converge) users will surpass 600 million by 2026 due to generative artificial intelligence (AI), a new report has shown.
Presently, there are already over 300 million active users in Metaverse video games and virtual world platforms, according to Bankless Times.
In recent years, generative AI has gained significant attention due to its remarkable capabilities.
In contrast to traditional AI, which is based on explicit rules, it can generate content, images, audio, and even entire virtual worlds on its own.
Its ability to build and populate virtual environments with interactive elements, lifelike avatars, and immersive experiences positions it as a driving force in Metaverse adoption, the report said.
"Generative AI marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Metaverse. It empowers users to co-create and personalise their virtual experiences, bridging the gap between imagination and reality. As we witness its integration within Metaverse applications, it is no longer a question of 'if,' but 'when' the Metaverse will become an integral part of our daily lives," said BanklessTimes Crypto expert Alice Leetham.
