Episode Notes

Apple has announced a partnership with OpenAI, the home of ChatGPT. The deal will see Apple integrate ChatGPT into Siri, its chatbot assistant, across iPhones, Macs, and iPads. The move follows similar steps from Apple’s major tech rivals to capitalise on the AI boom, with the likes of Google-parent Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta all announcing new products and partnerships. TechInformed reported on the whole story; read it here.

Then, NAK3D founder and best-selling author Kelly Vero joins the podcast to underline the importance of regulating the Metaverse and ensuring user safety. She advocates for robust reporting mechanisms and the active involvement of decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) in governing the metaverse, prioritising the user's security.

Holding no punches, Vero reveals how she really feels about who should be at the helm steering the path of the Metaverse (and who shouldn't!). She also discusses the challenges of spatial computing and the potential of interoperability between physical and digital spaces. She also gives businesses some tips on how to use the Metaverse to their advantage.
