NFTs have been all the rage over the past year, as the popularity of these digital tokens, along with cryptocurrencies, has buyers around the world shelling out millions of dollars in the booming crypto market. This trend has been part of a major shift in technology, with the emergence of Metaverse and the initial iterations of Web 3.0, in which non-fungible tokens play a vital role.
The first generation of NFTs, the ones most of us are most familiar with, focused on key properties such as ownership, authenticity, uniqueness, and transfer. However, rapid developments in the field of artificial intelligence are now opening the door for applications to expand into areas such as blockchain technology and unlock new layers of potential in the form of AI NFTs.
This is thanks to AI models like GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), which, once trained with the right dataset, are capable of generating new content on their own, making them an attractive technology to pair with NFTs.
With non-fungible tokens taking over industries such as entertainment, sports, and luxury goods, expect the latest generation of NFTs to only set the bar higher.
What are AI NFTs?
Let’s start with AI.
Artificial intelligence refers to nonhuman models capable of solving complex tasks and performing cognitive functions such as learning, problem solving, reasoning, and perception. In other words, artificial intelligence uses computer technology to try and mimic human intelligence. In the past decade, this technology has made huge leaps and is closely related to many aspects of our daily life. While AI can be used to generate NFTs, the most promising trend right now is the integration of AI into non-fungible tokens. They are called AI NFTs.
AI NFT is a non-fungible token that embeds a generative pretrained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) language model prompt as part of its smart contract. This type of smart NFT is not only smart, but also has other properties such as animation, interactivity, and many other generative capabilities that are still emerging.
AI NFTs, on the other hand, make generative evolution work. For example, a smart NFT can create new content by itself and integrate dynamic experiences into its smart contacts as a result of its self-learning ability. The more an NFT is exposed to a given environment or user, the more it can extract data and build knowledge. Therefore, these types of tokens are not only smart, but also upgradeable, dynamic and scalable. Imagine NFTs that adapt to your conversations and respond to your emotions, evolving with you to create increasingly complex tokens.
This is the technology behind some emerging projects (we’ll get to that in a bit) that aim to combine artificial intelligence with the promise of blockchain technology for a permanent upgrade of the underlying technology structure.
How to use AI NFT?
As we’ve just seen, infusing AI capabilities into NFTs can open the door to unique and personalized experiences that have so far been impossible with other technologies. It’s an experiment that’s starting to see some big names get involved.
A pioneer in this space is Alethea AI, a Mark Cuban-funded project that allows users to embed AI animation, interaction, and speech synthesis capabilities into NFTs. Alethea calls its smart NFTs iNFTs, and explains that its unique AI protocol “provides a mechanism for creators around the world to create interactive and smart NFTs.
One need only look at the project’s own tagline, “Give your NFT superpowers,” to get a full sense of what these new non-fungible tokens can do. In fact, Alethea has already managed to sell its first iNFT, an artificial intelligence avatar named “Alice,” for a staggering $478,000 at a Sotheby’s auction held last year.
As with many other forms of emerging technology, the number of use cases for smart NFTs is unimaginable. Brands may be interested in dabbling and experimenting with these tokens to capture other benefits of artificial intelligence to:
Produce and deliver content in novel ways
reach new audiences
discover new trends
Ability to react and adjust in real time to market factors such as inventory levels and prices
Infusing AI capabilities into NFTs represents a new technological frontier that can be extended to many capabilities.
Benefits of AI NFTs
To think about why AI NFTs could change gamers, we have to imagine what the future might look like. We know this is a tall order, but let’s assume that the evolution of the online world will lead us all to more interactive and richer experiences. We currently spend an average of 7 hours online, but much of the feed can feel one-sided because most of us don’t become content creators, but merely content consumers.
This will change as more blockchain-based platforms like Metaverse emerge and bring interactive changes to the content creation dynamic. Users in these environments will find new ways to connect to what is important to them, enabling a more engaged digital lifestyle.
One of the main appeals of AI NFTs is that these types of tokens leverage deep learning methods in areas such as computer vision, speech analysis, and language to unlock a whole new level of experience for users who increasingly engage as AI.
AI capabilities can be further integrated into the building blocks of digital infrastructure, such as NFT marketplace , which leads to AI becoming part of the entire NFT life cycle.
Apart from some of the aspects mentioned, the combination of non-fungible tokens and artificial intelligence provides a platform for experimentation, and more results can be expected as the technology develops.
