Generative AI can help indie studios build games on a budget and developers scale Web3 gaming, Atlas CEO Ben James tells The Agenda podcast.
Over the years, various crypto niches have been said to be the use case that will finally bring blockchain mass adoption. Some point to supply chains, cross-border payments or even music, but others have long suggested Web3 gaming could usher in this new era.
More recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the hottest narratives, with AI-focused tokens seeing massive price surges in 2023 during a time when the broader crypto market was mostly trading sideways. While blockchain gaming has faded a bit in the public eye, AI seems to not be going anywhere.
One of its most prominent use cases is generative AI, in which the technology creates images, video, text, music, etc., from prompts imputed by a user. First popularized in the mainstream by OpenAI’s DALL-E in early 2021, the generative AI industry has exploded and become so ubiquitous that it’s nearly impossible to exist online today without encountering some form of AI-generated content — whether consumers realize it or not.
