Chatbot Conference 2022: Metaverse, NFTs, ChatGPT & Convergence of Technology
In the METAVERSE
The Chatbot Conference 2022 was not just another virtual event; it was a groundbreaking event.
The core theme of the Chatbot Conference 2022 revolved around the convergence of AI, the Metaverse, and blockchain technology.
The conference itself was hosted in Decentraland, a decentralized virtual world, and offered NFTs to attendees, making it the first conference to merge AI assistants, the Metaverse, and blockchain.
AI Agents were then used to introduce attendees to each other based on their NFTs!
This event was a pioneering effort to demonstrate how these technologies can come together to create a seamless, interactive, and highly engaging experience.
and there is one more thing….
For the first time we saw a working example of a ChatGPT Agent!
Key Highlights
1. AI Characters - The Next Generation of Chatbots
Kylan Gibbs from InWorld AI presented "AI Characters - The Next Generation of Chatbots," exploring how AI is evolving to create more interactive and social experiences in virtual worlds.
These AI characters are designed to mimic human interaction, forging deeper relationships with users and enhancing engagement in digital environments.
2. Conversational AI for Marketing: ChatGPT in Action
In a groundbreaking showcase, the conference featured one of the first production uses of ChatGPT API to power Natural Language Generation (NLG) bots for marketing purposes.
This innovative application demonstrated the potential of advanced language models in creating dynamic, personalized marketing content.
The use of ChatGPT in this context was particularly noteworthy, as it preceded the global sensation that ChatGPT would become by almost a year, positioning the conference at the cutting edge of AI applications.
3. Ethical Considerations and AI Bias
The conference dedicated significant attention to the ethical implications of AI and the challenge of bias in AI systems:
Marlinda Galapon Martinez from Salesforce discussed bias in AI and the importance of diversifying training data. Her talk highlighted the critical need for inclusive AI development practices to ensure fair and equitable outcomes across diverse user groups.
Jean Alfonso-Decena from In Silence AI presented "Re-Defining Humanity through Wellness & Technology," exploring the intersection of AI, wellness, and human values.
