Council Post: Into The Metaverse: The Future Of Virtual Interactions

Raghu Ravinutala is CEO and co-founder of enterprise-grade conversational AI platform Yellow.ai. After 27 years since the commercialization of the internet, 5 billion people have an online presence today. The first two phases of the Web--Web 1.0 and 2.0--were relatively staid compared to what's coming. Today, we're on the threshold of Web3 and the metaverse--internet environments where transactions are logged on the blockchain and powered by AI. By 2026, Web3 technologies--such as digital twins, smart spaces, virtual and augmented reality, and advanced virtual assistants--will transform how people interact with the world.
