Meet our latest Base Camp cohorts and hear from industry leaders on the state of the Open Metaverse
Introduction
The future of Web3, AI, and Entertainment
Welcome to Elevate, a virtual conference exploring AI, media, and Web3’s role in the integrity of the Web. We are excited to have you join us on this landmark day.
Artificial Intelligence is changing how we interact with technology, we’re seeing media and creativity become more accessible. But the centralized control of data and AI models presents a significant risk to user privacy and control. This is where Web3 technologies come in, offering a more decentralized approach to data management.
Join the conversation to explore how AI and Web3 are driving innovation and creating new opportunities for users, while also addressing how Web3 can address critical issues of data privacy and control.
