ADAPT International Convention 2022

Reflection Paper #1 - Conference

I. Details of the event/activity

With the rapid pace of change in the world today, it’s more important than ever to be technologically savvy. The same can be said for emerging technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence. While it’s not necessary for everyone to be an expert in these fields, it’s important to have a basic understanding of how they work and how they could potentially impact our lives. Adapt International Convention 2022 is a two-day virtual convention on the Metaverse, Digital Assets, and AI conducted last December 13-14, 2022 through WebinarJam.

II. Reflections on the webinar/activity give rise to (learnings)

One speaker that caught my attention was Seth Pyrzynski. He Award-Winning, Neurodiverse, Innovation, and Strategy Executive, Global Production Director, Executive Producer, Product Manager, Creative Event Producer & Competitive Gaming Professional w/ 20+ years dedicated to underground culture, event design/production, live broadcast, gaming, strategic game theory, and esports. The way we play video games is changing. With the advent of new technologies like Web3 and AI, the gaming industry is being revolutionized. These technologies are giving rise to new gaming experiences that are more immersive, realistic, and interactive. Web3 is a decentralized platform that allows for peer-to-peer interactions without the need for a central authority. This means that gamers can connect with each other directly, without going through a third-party platform like Steam or PlayStation Network. AI, on the other hand, is making games more realistic and immersive. By incorporating AI into games, developers can create virtual worlds that are realistic enough to fool the human brain.

Combined, these two technologies are changing the way we play games. No longer are we limited to the traditional gaming experiences offered by console and PC games. With Web3 and AI, we can now explore virtual worlds that are realistic, interactive, and deeply immersive.

III. Reflections on possibilities on implementing some of the webinar input on a practical level (practical application of learnings)

Metaverse is a digital world that uses digital assets and artificial intelligence to cater to our daily lives. It is a world that is constantly being developed and upgraded to provide us with a better experience. The use of digital assets and artificial intelligence in Metaverse allows us to have a more realistic and lifelike experience. These digital assets can be used to create an immersive experience in different industries, such as gaming, education, and entertainment. Metaverse is a distributed ledger technology that allows for the creation of digital assets, which are stored on a blockchain. Metaverse is also a smart contract platform that enables the execution of contracts and transactions. Metaverse is also a platform for creating decentralized applications. Digital assets on the Metaverse platform include but are not limited to: tokens, smart contracts, and decentralized applications.

IV. Positive feedback (on the event organization)

As expected from international-catering organizers, the convention went well and is packed with informative topics with regard to the Metaverse, digital assets, and AI. They also included a live forum where the said speakers will answer questions from the participants. Though it was online, it still felt like personally conversing with the speakers by the way they relayed their experiences in this field.
