What role does artificial general intelligence (AGI) play in the Metaverse?

  • Intelligent Interaction: AGI enhances virtual characters (NPCs, digital humans) with real-time learning and decision-making, enabling natural, personalized interactions like virtual assistants acting as guides or consultants.

  • Automated Content Creation (AIGC): AGI accelerates Metaverse content generation (3D scenes, virtual items, narratives) via AI-driven tools, fostering UGC ecosystems and integrating with NFTs for a robust virtual economy.

  • Smart Governance & Economy: AGI optimizes decentralized Metaverse economies by regulating transactions, predicting trends, and automating compliance, while improving DAO decision-making efficiency.

  • Personalized Experiences: AGI tailors virtual environments (social spaces, malls, city layouts) dynamically based on user behavior and preferences, enhancing engagement.

  • Resource Optimization: AGI addresses computing bottlenecks by intelligently managing cloud resources, enabling scalable, real-time interactions via decentralized platforms like PowerVerse.

  • Innovative Business Models: AGI spawns new services (virtual teachers, AI artists, digital doctors) that blend virtual and real-world applications, expanding economic and employment opportunities.

  • Future Outlook: AGI’s rapid advancement will drive the Metaverse toward a smarter, more autonomous digital ecosystem, reshaping social and economic structures.

Summary

When talking about the metaverse, people always associate it with a higher-tech impression.

In fact, this impression has a basis in reality. As a collection of multiple cutting-edge technologies, the Metaverse not only covers network infrastructure, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, blockchain, interactive technology, electronic games and other fields, but also represents a new digital way of life.

By combining with blockchain, it can provide multiple core features such as immersive experience, combination of digital and real, and intelligent interaction, while also providing a decentralized economic system, aiming to build a digital world of a higher dimension.

The development of the metaverse not only depends on new technological breakthroughs, but also involves extensive industrial collaboration, policy support and changes in social cognition.

From a technical perspective, the development of the Metaverse requires powerful computing power, high-speed network transmission, intelligent data processing capabilities, and efficient content creation tools. Among them, artificial intelligence, especially general artificial intelligence (AGI), plays a vital role in this process.

In 2025, with the emergence and widespread use of AGI, it will accelerate the construction of the Metaverse and become the core driving force of its development in many aspects:

Intelligent interaction

One of the core experiences of the Metaverse is the highly intelligent interaction between people and the digital environment. AGI can give virtual characters (such as NPCs and digital humans) powerful learning and decision-making capabilities, enabling them to adjust interaction modes in real time according to user behavior, and provide more natural and humanized social and service experiences. For example, in the future Metaverse, AGI-driven virtual assistants can become personalized tour guides, consultants, and decision-making partners, enhancing users' immersion in the virtual world.

Automatically generated content (AIGC)

The prosperity of the Metaverse is inseparable from a rich content ecosystem, and AGI can significantly improve the efficiency of content creation. With the help of AI Generated Content (AIGC) technology, AGI can automatically generate high-quality 3D scenes, virtual items, game tasks and even complete storylines, promoting the development of the UGC (user-generated content) ecosystem. AIGC combined with NFT will also create a virtual economic system. This will promote the continuous expansion and evolution of the Metaverse world.

Smart Governance and Autonomous Economy

The decentralized economic system in the metaverse relies on the coordinated development of blockchain and AI. AGI can be used to optimize the economic system in the metaverse, regulate virtual asset transactions, predict market trends, and provide automated compliance reviews to ensure the stable operation of the digital economy. AGI empowers the intelligent governance of DAO (decentralized autonomous organization), and can also make its decision-making ability more efficient and further improve the overall operating efficiency.

Personalized experience and dynamic optimization

The Metaverse may also be a personalized experience, so as to attract more users to enter. AGI plays an important role. It can analyze user behavior, interests and historical data in the Metaverse, and dynamically adjust the virtual environment to make it more in line with individual needs. For example, the virtual social space can recommend suitable social groups based on user preferences, the virtual mall can intelligently recommend products, and even the layout of the entire virtual city can be adaptively adjusted according to user habits.

Breaking through computing and resource bottlenecks

The construction of the Metaverse requires huge computing resources, and AGI can improve the utilization efficiency of computing power by optimizing computing architecture and intelligently scheduling cloud computing resources. This has led to the emergence and development of decentralized computing cloud platforms such as PowerVerse. Decentralized computing cloud platforms will further enhance the capabilities of distributed computing and edge computing by combining the powerful potential of AI, enabling the Metaverse to carry larger-scale user interactions and ensure a smooth real-time experience of interacting with the Metaverse.

Innovative business/industry models

The application of AGI in the Metaverse will give rise to new business models. For example, AGI-based virtual teachers can provide personalized educational services, intelligent AI artists can create unique digital artworks, and virtual doctors can provide precise health management plans. These virtual characters can be combined with reality to achieve digital-real integration (for example, virtual doctors can issue medical treatment orders, and patients can go to the hospital offline for treatment). These innovative applications not only expand the economic boundaries of the Metaverse, but also create more diverse employment and business opportunities.

Conclusion

In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion about the technological development, social structure, business logic, and other topics of the Metaverse. The above areas do not fully cover the impact of the Metaverse, after all, we cannot predict the future.

What is certain is that as AI develops rapidly, it will drive the virtual world to evolve in a smarter, more open, and more efficient direction, making the Metaverse a truly efficient and sustainable digital ecosystem. With the support of AGI, the Metaverse may be a future social form with strong productivity, innovation, and autonomy.
