As we usher in a new era in technological innovation, it's becoming apparent that brands and consumers will interact very differently in the Web 3.0 world - and the metaverse that is emerging from it. By blending physical with digital, we will see the rise of hybrid experiences where immersion, personalization and connectivity will become some of the key selling points.

And with new patterns of behavior and consumption slowly taking shape, brands will have to re-invent themselves to align with audiences in the metaverse. What is important to take note of is that the marketing of today will not translate well in a virtual world; from advertising to purchasing channels and the very nature of the interests of consumers, marketers and advertisers will face a new set of challenges.

The metaverse is being billed a trillion dollar market opportunity. Some brands with deep pockets like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren, are already carving out their influence in the metaverse - and making big money with their first forays into virtual worlds. Even for those who aren’t willing to commit just yet, brand experimentation has become a top trend to follow.

And while we’re just at the tip of this technological advancement, there are already real-world areas that can benefit from having a presence in a virtual world. Perhaps without much surprise, advertising and marketing are likely to become an even bigger industry in the metaverse given the new (and extremely profitable) avenues that are being opened up.

In this post, we will be discussing advertising in the metaverse, from the advertising channels of the future to the pros and cons of embracing this technological development.


## What Is The Metaverse

The metaverse is a virtual space that blends real world and virtual realities into one, in real time, using emerging technology like virtual and augmented reality to create highly immersive 3D environments. Some are calling it the successor to the current internet, as the next big step in interactive digital experiences.

With a vast number of possibilities at play, the metaverse is quickly becoming an influential platform for socialization, creative pursuits, business, gaming, entertainment, and more.

Currently, the closest experience we have to the metaverse are gaming platforms like Roblox , Axie Infinity and Fortnite, as well as open-source virtual worlds, including Decentraland, and the Sandbox. These platforms offer shared 3D worlds where users can engage in a number of experiences beyond gaming.

In [Sensorium Galaxy](https://sensoriumxr.com/galaxy), for example, users will be able to attend music concerts and meet their favorite artists, as well as move within the many worlds within this metaverse, connecting with new people, exploring new forms of self-expression and exploration, creating dances and striking relationships with virtual AI-driven beings. Users will also be offered deep levels of customization of both their avatars and their experience with Sensorium Galaxy.

With virtual worlds becoming the new marketing and advertising frontier, there are a key metaverse concepts that advertisers will want to leverage:


Key characteristics of the metaverse.jpg

**Hyper social:** opportunities to meet and connect with new people will become much bigger due to the shared nature of virtual worlds.

**Scalability:** Hundreds of millions of people (and their avatars) will be able to coexist, at the same time, in the metaverse.

**Accessibility:** All users, regardless of their age, background, religion or location, will be able to join the metaverse.

**New forms of content:** Immersive and interactive content generated by users and that can’t take shape in the real world, can finally emerge in the metaverse.

**Bridge between physical and digital:** Blurring the lines between both worlds allows people to interact with experiences, products and services in more compelling ways.


## Key Metaverse Terms Advertisers Should Know

As we explained in our last article ‘[Metaverse Meaning: Definition, Origin and Opportunities](https://sensoriumxr.com/articles/metaverse-meaning)’, the term metaverse is a combination of the Greek prefix “meta” (meaning beyond) and “verse” from the word universe. The concept was first coined by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel ’Snow Crash’. 

However, only in the last year has the metaverse really exploded, entering the mainstream on the back of big tech news like Facebook’s rebrand as Meta at the end of 2021.

Since then, the metaverse has gone from being a tech buzzword to becoming a major area of investment for companies across all industries.


Meta Advertising.jpg

Brands will no longer be limited to physical spaces — or physical products — as the value of digital goods (in the form of non-fungible tokens), keeps growing. The idea is that instead of going to a physical store and picking up your favorite products, you could simply purchase them in the metaverse and get them delivered at home. Sounds like Deliveroo, we know, but in the metaverse there’s much more than you can do at the same time you’re shopping, like attending a metaverse concert or gathering with your friends.

Experiences will be increasingly integrated into one space, creating more opportunities for users. Or that’s at least the plan of companies like [McDonald’s](https://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-metaverse-virtual-online-restaurant-trademark-delivers-food-web3-nft-2022-2), which will be adding a whole range of services to its standard home delivery options.

Before we get to the details, it’s worth taking a look at the key metaverse ideas that advertisers and ad ad agencies should be aware of:

**Virtual reality (VR)**

Virtual reality is an immersive and interactive experience in a simulated environment. You can enter a 360-degree environment with the help of an interface like a head-mounted device. This way, VR provides visual, sensory and auditory feedback, allowing users to immerse themselves fully in virtual worlds and environments, like the metaverse.

Virtual reality technology has been around for quite a while now, but it has only started maturing and becoming more accessible in recent years. More recent advancements have made the use of VR and its interfaces, like VR headsets, much more practical, widespread and accessible.

**Augmented reality (AR)**

Augmented reality is a technologically enhanced version of the real world, achieved by superimposing a computer-generated image in a real-world, physical space. Visual and sound stimuli are added to enhance immersion.

**Mixed reality (MR)**

Mixed reality is a broad technological category that refers to “mixed” experiences that result of an overlap of human and computer processing input. As described [here](https://delight-vr.com/xr-glossary/), Mixed reality technology overlays artificial content onto the real world and enables the artificial content to interact with the real world scenery. VR and AR lie on the mixed reality spectrum, which extends between physical and digital worlds.

**Extended Reality (XR)**

Extended reality encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), and any form of immersive technology capable of extending reality by blending real-world elements and virtual world. XR includes human-machine interactions that have an effect on cognition and senses, like VR headsets, AR glasses and even implants.

**Avatar**

An avatar is a computer-generated representation of users in a virtual world or metaverse. In essence, it’s your virtual persona.

**Blockchain**

Blockchain technology provides a way to store information digitally that is nearly impossible to change or hack. Blockchain also powers cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as being the technology behind non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

**Cryptocurrency**

Virtual currency, or cryptocurrency, is the main means of payment in the metaverse. This type of currency is kept in digital wallets and secured through highly complex cryptography. There is no central regulation or oversight over cryptocurrency as it goes through decentralized systems, which help issue and track cryptocurrency tokens.

**Non-Fungible tokens (NFTs)**

An NFT is a unique digital asset stored on a blockchain. It represents real-world items like music, art, collectibles, and much more. And NFT will give you true digital ownership of a one-of-a-kind asset.




## Ways To Advertise In The Metaverse

So, how can brands advertise in the metaverse and profit from the technology? As the metaverse is far from being a fully-formed platform, we can’t predict the full scope of opportunities, but there are a few trends emerging. Many are an extension of real-world, tried-and-tested strategies including:

### 1. In-metaverse Advertising






Around Metaverse Advertising Billboards.jpg

Ok, granted. This might not be the most exciting development, but digital advertising isn’t really going anywhere. In some metaverse-like platforms, including Roblox, Fortnite and Decentraland, you are likely to come across some form of metaverse advertising, most commonly a virtual billboard. This is a model that has worked well for in-gaming advertising in platforms like Tiki-Taka Soccer and FIFA Mobile, and can translate well in the metaverse. Certainly taking note of the potential, brands like Coca-Cola, Samsung, Balenciaga and Adidas are doubling down on their presence in the metaverse, with splashy PR and advertising campaigns to match. But while a billboard or a banner might seem old-school IRL, they’re an untapped channel in the metaverse, still.

### 2. Virtual Influencers

Imma Virtual Influencer.jpg

Influencer marketing is one of the most powerful tools to advertise and sell products these days. And while that might not change in the metaverse, brands are increasingly exploring partnerships with a new breed of social media stars - virtual influencers. There are many upsides to this strategy, from making more creative campaigns to being most cost efficient. Virtual models are also more easily manageable, which can be another great advantage for some advertisers. Influencers like [Lil Miquela](https://www.instagram.com/lilmiquela/?hl=en), [Shudu](https://www.instagram.com/shudu.gram/?hl=en) and [Imma ](https://www.instagram.com/imma.gram/?hl=en)frequently nabbing high-profile campaigns with the likes of Calvin Klein, Balmain, Valentino and Dior. That isn’t to say that human influencers won’t have a place in the metaverse. As mentioned by marketing consultancy group [R3](https://twitter.com/R3WW/status/1468947293650964485), users will still be able to follow digital influencers the same way they do now, while brands will continue partnering and collaborating with various influencers to “make a splash” in the metaverse.

### 3. Metaverse Events


Ariana Grande and Fortnite Concert-1.jpg

[Fortnite](https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/home) and [Roblox](https://www.roblox.com/) have led the way in reaching large scale audiences with entertainment events like concerts by the likes of Travis Scott, Lil Nas and Ariana Grande, each pulling in millions of fans. Just like in real-life with massive events like, say, the Super Bowl, metaverse concerts, summits, sports events, etc, are incredible advertising opportunities. From rolling out full-on ads to more subtle product placements, consumers are going to interactive advertising across the metaverse.


### 4. Metaverse Commerce

Lotte Duty Free Metaverse Advertising Options

Lotte Duty Free Metaverse Advertising.jpg

One of the key trends emerging has been the rise of the direct-to-avatar (D2A) economy, where brands sell digital products targeted at enhancing user’s avatars. These digital goods can already count on a massive market potential, in line with in-game spending trends we’ve seen in recent years. In 2025, the market value of in-game purchases is [projected](https://www.statista.com/statistics/558952/in-game-consumer-spending-worldwide/) to surpass 74.4 billion U.S. dollars.

Much of the hype has to do with the use of non-fungible tokens to support virtual economies. In the metaverse, digital goods are exchanged as NFTs, which makes them entirely unique while ensuring their ownership is protected. These assets can range from content to collectibles, and so far they’ve proven to be a highly monetizable market.

Nike, for example, has become a permanent fixture in Roblox where it established [Nikeland](https://www.roblox.com/nikeland). This virtual showroom is filled with virtual racks of Nike NFT shoes, clothes, and accessories which users can easily purchase and wear in the metaverse. Coca Cola recently launched its own collection of NFT wearables in Decentraland, to which it has now also added a [metaverse drink](https://nypost.com/2022/04/05/coca-cola-launches-virtual-drink-inside-the-metaverse/). A raft of other brands, including Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Samsung, Wendy’s and McDonald’s are also offering NFTs across virtual worlds.


## Why Is The Metaverse Lucrative For Advertising

Although it’s predicted to balloon into a [multi-trillion dollar industry](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/citi-says-metaverse-economy-could-142208855.html#:~:text=The%20investment%20bank%2C%20in%20a,many%20as%205%20billion%20users.)), for now the metaverse remains an affordable destination for advertising. The prices of running a campaign or renting a metaverse billboard aren’t particularly high, making it a potentially lucrative opportunity to target new audiences entering the metaverse.

Not only is advertising in the metaverse a novel tool, but it will also have a far wider reach when compared to traditional marketing and advertising strategies.

Brands will, in particular, want to target millennials and Gen Z audiences, as those are already largely familiar with digital experiences and virtual worlds, particularly in gaming. There are currently nearly three million active gamers in the world. In the [U.S. alone](https://financesonline.com/number-of-gamers-worldwide/), 68% of American adults (163.3 million) are gamers, while 70% of American kids aged 18 and below (or 51.1 million) are gamers, too.

In addition, with crypto and NFTs becoming increasingly mainstream, these segments are only poised for massive adoption and growth in virtual worlds. In fact, the metaverse is already becoming a leading destination for NFTs, with even famed auction house Sotheby’s launching a [virtual gallery in Decentraland](https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021/06/07/crypto-crazed-sothebys-launches-first-virtual-gallery-in-digital-metaverse-decentraland).

Finally, with real-world limitations out of the way, advertising in the metaverse can reach new heights - without breaking the bank. Take for example Gucci’s uber successful Gucci Garden campaign, a virtual recreation of one of the fashion house’s most fantastical advertising campaign sets. Inside this virtual space hosted inside Roblox, users (avatars) could walk through a forest-like scenario, completely open to the sky, while also browsing through Gucci’s digital fashion collection.

As a result of this activation, the famed Italian fashion house managed to sell a virtual bag for more than its real-life counterpart.


## Key Benefits of Metaverse Advertising

Throughout history, advertising has been quick to embrace new trends and technological leaps. The metaverse is now opening, again, a new era to be tapped into - and a new platform through which advertisers and marketers can reach audiences. As such, brands need to start considering taking the first steps to embrace virtual worlds, with some of the top advantages of advertising in the metaverse being:

### Unlimited turnout

A metaverse has no limit to the amount of people that can enter it - and experience it concurrently. This means that advertisers can reach an unlimited audience, something that technology doesn’t currently allow as there are very few events that can gather millions of people at the same time in one place.

### Boundless infrastructure possibilities

The sky's the limit when it comes imagining and conceptualizing the metaverse. Without the restraints of the real-world, like gravity, lack of space or even budget, there’s nothing in the way to what can be built in a virtual world. Whatever you dream, that can become possible in the metaverse.

### High-volume monetization

Through blockchain and smart contracts, the metaverse promises to give its users true ownership over digital assets. This is an enticing prospect for creators. Artists can easily mint their art pieces or content and sell it as an NFT, meaning they’re a one-of-kind digital asset. Some celebrities, influencers and content creators are also using this technology to connect with fans and followers in more meaningful ways, including releasing exclusive content that goes straight to buyers.

### Personalization

In recent years, marketing and advertising has shifted from a “one-to-many'' to a more personal “one-to-one” approach, with ads becoming ever more tailored to the people they aim to reach. This is a strategy that’s been particularly important to capture the attention of younger generations, who don’t want to feel just like another, faceless person in a big audience. Leveraging the potential of VR, AR and AI to forge deeper relationships with customers in the metaverse is a must-follow strategy for brands who want to become relevant and engaging in the metaverse.


## Why Should Brands Advertise in the Metaverse

<br>

### First mover advantage

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. The metaverse is, for now, a novelty about which there’s still relatively little understanding. But that presents an opportunity for those ready to learn about it - and take the challenge head on. There’s no need for a big commitment like opening up a virtual store and having a permanent presence in the metaverse. Brands can opt for experimenting with smaller advertising, like buying a banner within a game or a virtual music concert, or using AR to increase engagement.


Nikeland and Roblox Metaverse.jpg

### Innovative cross-channel mix

Part of keeping up the trends is updating strategies to match not only changing consumer behaviors but also the channels that are the most important to audiences. With more people entering the metaverse, it’s worth taking a look at what is behind the move and study the evolution of behaviors and interests. Just like the first users and brands that embraced Facebook or Instagram, so too the metaverse will be a relevant channel for consumers. Having a presence there, even if small, can make a difference in the long run. On the other hand, the metaverse is the perfect creative asset for advertisers, who can run real-world campaigns in parallel to actions in the metaverse.

### Endless Creative Possibilities

The metaverse is a blank canvas where creativity can be fully unleashed. With the laws of physics out of the way, advertisers can make use of innovative tools to conceptualize campaigns. Currently, we’re seeing a growing disinclination and indifference toward advertising. Many consumers, including you maybe, are proactively avoiding ads and paying for ad-free experiences. However, this doesn’t have to be a reality in the metaverse as there will be more ways to engage users. This means appealing not just to their eyes and ears, but to all their senses. Multi-sensory simulation in the metaverse will be made possible, in great part, thanks to the use of haptic technology, allowing users to have a real sense of presence and contact with their virtual environments in ways that aren’t possible today.


## Challenges of Metaverse Advertising

While the metaverse is a very tempting platform for marketing and advertising, there are a few caveats to be aware of before jumping in.

### Security

Now more than ever, data privacy is at the top of consumer’s concerns - and demands. Without clear cybersecurity protocols in place, it will be hard to bring in adopters and convince them to engage with brands in the metaverse. It might be that, at the end of the day, it will be up to brands to ensure that their digital presence and footprint remains safe.

### Regulation

Tech giants have faced increased scrutiny over their perceived failure to adequately moderate and regulate content on their platforms. The issue will prove equally as relevant in the metaverse, whose very nature relies on decentralization. With such a model, self-regulation will be key. But even so, with users regulating other users, as is the case with platforms like Decentraland, the issue could still prove elusive. A solution might be using smart contracts to stamp inappropriate content or tackle misinformation.

### Lack of adoption

Consumer adoption of the interfaces needed to enter the metaverse, in particular VR headsets, is picking up pace but it remains low for now. The same goes for the adoption rate of VR technology more broadly, with user experience being frequently singled out as one of the top barriers to mainstream adoption. Adding to a relatively slow hardware adoption, there is also a hurdle tied to virtual reality content, which has also experienced an underwhelming reception so far. Data from Forrester has found that only 34% and 28% of US and UK online adults, respectively, are excited for what the metaverse will offer, and less than 25% in both countries demonstrate the kind of intense gaming and social media activities conducive to metaverse early adoption.

### Measuring Metrics

Measuring and tracking can be particularly challenging in the metaverse as there are no clear metrics in place. One of the biggest challenges has become assessing return on investment, a key metric for any advertiser and marketer. Without knowing exactly what they’re getting out of their money, it’s challenging to justify budgets to advertising clients. As explained by Cathy Hackl, brands might struggle in the beginning to assess potential OKRs [objectives and key results] and the potential ROI, as even projections on numbers are constantly evolving. It’s only likely that in the metaverse, marketing metrics will go beyond just likes, subscribers and shares.





##  Tips to Get Started with Metaverse Advertising

So, what will advertising 3.0 look like? Hard to tell. We are yet to enter a full-fledged metaverse. But brands have started experimenting with some tools and strategies that will certainly payoff when it comes to advertising in the metaverse:

### Augmented reality marketing




Unlike virtual reality, which depends on VR headsets and more complex data, augmented reality is a tool much easier to use as consumers need only their smartphones to access AR-based experiences. Brands like [Zara](https://futurestoreseast.wbresearch.com/blog/zara-augmented-reality-app-virtual-model-strategy#:~:text=Fast%20fashion%20retailer%20Zara%20has,of%20augmented%20reality%20in%20retail.)) and [Chanel](https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/chanel-lipscanner-virtual-reality-app-48177165), for example, have experimented with AR technology to enrich their shopping offerings, while social networks like Instagram and Snapchat have a vast selection of AR filters. Augmented reality is a way for marketers to interact with customers they may not have had access to before, opening up new opportunities for personalization, leading to more successful campaigns in the long run.

### Virtual reality advertising



Vntana Meta 3D Advertising.jpg

Virtual reality is the latest technology to get the full attention of advertisers. It has the potential to be more immersive and interactive than any other form of traditional advertising. Virtual reality advertising can be used for many purposes, including product demonstrations, 360-degree videos and virtual tours. Recently, Meta [announced](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vntana-brings-3d-advertising-facebook-133300812.html) that it would be integrating 3D ads to Facebook and Instagram advertising, saying the step will help consumers have a better understanding of the products they engage with online.

### Video marketing

Video marketing is already one of the cornerstones of today's marketing practices. In the metaverse, it will include videos linked to specific themes related to customers and appear as part of personalized presentations. As predicted by industry experts, metaverse video marketing will make use of technology like eye and motion capture, facial expression recognition and voice recognition, allowing advertisers to use it as a metric to better gauge the feedback of viewers regarding a product or piece of content being presented.

### Live streaming

As a shared space where users can easily hang out with others like friends and family, live streaming is another tool through which connection can be achieved. Live streaming brings in an element of real-time presence and connectivity, which advertisers can continue using to their advantage, as they already do in platforms like Meta, Instagram or Twitch.





## Bottom Line

The metaverse is yet to fully emerge but it is already presenting opportunities for brands to market their products and services more creatively. Not only can advertisers use innovative tools to reinvent their approach, virtual worlds also open the door to engagement with wider audiences, at a scale so large that is nearly impossible to currently replicate. Hopefully, our guide has helped you get a better grasp of what is advertising in the metaverse and some steps you can start taking now to kickstart your metaverse experience.

Advertising In The Metaverse - A Guide To Get It Right

Advertising In The Metaverse

Matias Lapuschin

Providing quick, personalized, knowledgeable, and proactive online customer support has become a prerequisite for the success of any company. Unsatisfactory support services may result in a bad reputation and lost customers for your business. 

An AI chatbot, or a chatbot tool, is a digital technology solution mainly used for customer service and delivering promotional or otherwise useful content. Using artificial intelligence technology, an AI chatbot can convincingly replicate a user's chat-based interactions with another human.
Initially, businesses had to create a support center, train the employees, and pay their salaries to run the customer support processes. These services were always prone to human errors and communication barriers. 

Also, human-based customer support services were limited to shift timings and couldn’t be available 24/7. AI allows computer programs to simulate a user conversation with a natural language through messaging applications. More and more brands are now leveraging AI chatbots to provide service to their customers and even market their brands.

## What is a Chatbot Platform?

Artificial Intelligence chatbot platforms, or AI chatbot apps, are virtual assistants communicating with people using natural language. A customer will, therefore, not have the sensation of talking to a machine. This is possible thanks to artificial intelligence and pre-set answers designed to simulate a human conversation.

Chatbot is derived from combining the two English words “chat” and “robot.” Initially, automated chatbots were available as rule-based chatbots. They were programmed for specific tasks and were limited in functionality. 

Modern AI chatbots can deliver a human-like conversational experience in an instant messaging style. They can understand user intent and learn different phrasing in which questions are being asked. 

They use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to simulate a user conversation. An AI chatbot platform is nothing more than software based on AI, conceived and designed to answer user questions automatically.

## Main Features of AI Chatbots To Look Out For

When deciding on an Artificial Intelligence chatbot technology for your website, check out the main features of the different AI chatbot platforms. This will prevent you from missing out on any important feature your business might require. Modern customers are connected to brands through various channels across the internet and demand instant solutions to their problems. 

Precisely for this reason, the AI chatbot is mainly used to offer quality customer service. This is advantageous for both businesses and customers. The best AI chatbots also offer mobile apps that can be used to access services. Your chatbot platform should offer unlimited chat history to avoid paying for extra memory.

The AI chatbot technology allows companies to cut costs by offering a 24-hour service without hiring extra staff for night shifts. This also helps the companies increase the degree of customer satisfaction and allows consumers to receive the information and support they need quickly and at any time.

## Changing Customer Requirements

Customers are now connected to the brands across a number of platforms. This includes the website, social media, and the official app. Therefore, companies must determine how support can be provided across all platforms. 

In addition to customer care, AI chatbots can help companies in sales processes such as lead generation, telling a story through a storytelling strategy, or supporting the purchasing process for an online shop. To understand what AI chatbots are, you need to think of the Internet, which has accustomed you to a remarkable response speed compared to the past. 

Thanks to search engines that can provide us with enormous information on all our questions. For this reason, as a user, you might find yourself extremely frustrated when you find yourself immersed in offline processes - often cumbersome - which take away your time and attention. This is enough to explain the AI chatbot phenomenon, which, thanks to the advances in artificial intelligence, makes it possible to communicate with machines and obtain answers, albeit to specific and circumscribed questions.


## Benefits of Artificial Intelligence Chatbots Online

AI chatbots are excellent for automating customer support and lead generation tasks. They are mainly designed to provide information or services to customers without human interference. AI allows bots to understand user requests and provide programmed and personalized responses. 

It is no coincidence that these programs are used to give consumers a high-level service through different communication channels, becoming a precious aid for omnichannel marketing. In summary, it can be said that the most important benefits guaranteed by AI chatbots to customers are essential:

Generally, an AI chatbot provides information in FAQs, content regarding products or services, and everything that users can usually acquire from a customer service operator. 

Using AI chatbots, companies can considerably save the time and costs associated with human resource activities. These efforts can be used to carry out other important activities. Following are some major benefits of using artificial intelligence chatbots for your business:

### Round-the-Clock Availability

AI chatbot software is online and available 24/7 and at a very low cost for businesses. In short, it is like always having active customer assistance. Unlike people, once an AI chatbot is installed, it can handle requests at any time of the day. This way, the customer doesn't have to wait for help from a company operator.

### Reduced Costs

AI chatbots eliminate the need for manpower during online customer interaction. This is obviously a big plus for companies that get multiple requests simultaneously. In addition to cost savings, businesses can align the AI chatbot with their goals and use it as a means to improve customer conversion.

### Learning and Updating

One of the main advantages of using AI-powered chatbots is that they keep self-improving their conversations and interactions through machine learning capability. When hiring a new employee, regular training is required. However, AI chatbots "form" themselves (with some limitations).

### Improved Assistance

AI chatbots can handle most of the customer service tasks and independently manage some requests for assistance. AI chatbots can be entrusted with the most common requests, such as the telephone number of the various departments, how to replace a product purchased by mistake, how to make a return, provide delivery status, and other requests that do not require human interaction. 

Only the most complex requests that require more accurate explanations can be passed on to customer service. By using AI chatbots, businesses can achieve greater automation and efficiency in managing assistance requests, and no customer will be left waiting for answers to trivial questions. 

Human agents can deal with a limited number of clients simultaneously. This restriction does not exist for AI chatbots, which can handle as many requests as needed at the same time. 
This is one of the main advantages of using AI chatbots, as no customer is left unattended, and several problems are solved simultaneously. Currently, AI chatbot companies are already working on developing voice AI chatbot services.

### Seamless Transactions

AI chatbots can be used to manage simple monetary transactions and provide recommendations. For example, in online booking services, you can ask your customers questions and thus obtain all the information you need to find the best tickets or solutions for them. 

By allowing customers to book services online independently, you will have satisfied customers and build a good reputation for your business. 

AI chatbots can effectively manage monotonous banking tasks such as blocking stolen cards, identity verification, and confirmation of transfers. 

In the future, AI chatbots could also be used in e-commerce platforms to manage the return of goods or the replacement of individual items. Customers may also be able to update or cancel their orders.

### Enhanced Data collection

When a customer requests assistance remotely, several formalities are performed to verify the person’s authenticity, such as collecting the main data concerning them. For example, the authorization to manage the account remotely and other additional information such as email and telephone number is verified. 

An AI chatbot application could be used to speed up the procedure before passing the request to an operator. In this way, the resolution of the problem will be faster, and the operator will immediately have all the main information they need at their disposal. It will allow you to resolve customer queries instantly.

## How To Add an AI Chatbot To Your Website?

Simple integration alone is not enough to guarantee the AI chatbot's success on your website. You need to devise a strategy that must be planned to obtain excellent results. You must identify the goals you intend to achieve and the most suitable type of answer to pursue them. 
If the AI chatbot has to respond to user requests, you must set up responses to satisfy them. This will only be possible if you know your target and its needs. 

The AI chatbot must be implemented in a larger marketing strategy as it can only prove useful if placed in a well-defined system. If your website is not easily navigable or your social pages are not taken care of, a virtual assistant can provide no added value to your customers. 

It is therefore advisable to analyze and, if necessary, intervene on these aspects before proceeding with the implementation. The next step will be identifying the most suitable channels for the best performance. You can decide whether to implement the AI bot on your website or instant messaging platforms, such as Facebook Messenger, Apple business chat, and WhatsApp are the most used to date.

### Personalized Customer Journey Design

It is necessary to use a personalized customer journey design service, where the processes and priorities of the service are defined. This will allow the service to establish the operating margin of the bot, the tasks it can solve on its own, or when the intervention of a human operator is necessary. 

Furthermore, a system for monitoring the efficiency of AI ​​customer service must be defined through KPIs that can be analyzed and allow for better performance to be obtained. 

Furthermore, the evolution of AI must not be missing through the continuous improvement of its interaction ability. One of the paths to pursue is that of emotional analysis, which allows conversational AI to analyze the customer's feelings and emotions from the tone of voice so as to be able to offer a deeper understanding of the request and consequently respond in an increasingly efficient way.

## What Is The Future of AI-powered Chatbots?

AI chatbots are expected to revolutionize customer support and be a crucial driver of business success. AI chatbots are constantly updated to provide seamless, realistic, automated conversations. 

Using conversational AI for customer service opens up various future perspectives that guide toward ever-greater automation of contacts and transactions. AI is helping chatbots, and voice bots reproduce more "human" behavior. You need to focus on a "trained" artificial intelligence algorithm. 

This will allow you to switch from a responsive to a predictive perspective so as to be able to positively change customer care management and consequently increase the customer's customer experience. In the future, AI chatbot adoption by businesses will likely increase rapidly.

## What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers and machines to perform tasks commonly performed by humans. In simple terms, computers are programmed to mimic human behavior by using historical data. AI has in fact been defined as machines thinking and acting humanly and rationally. Machines are able to process an enormous amount of data much faster than humans, making AI useful in situations that require quick responses such as trading stocks, credit-risk analysis and delivering real-time advertising. 

There are four types of AI: 

1. Reactive AI refers to machines that use their intelligence to simply react to stimuli instead of using historical data to inform responses. 

2. Limited Memory AI can store data and can learn from the past to gather clues about what lies ahead. 

3. Theory of Mind has not yet been achieved in the field. It would mean that machines are able to understand how humans think and feel to make decisions through self-reflection. 

4. Self Awareness is the final step of the AI puzzle in the distant future. It would mean machines develop a level of consciousness. 

Artificial intelligence exists all around us, from Siri and Alexa to self-driving cars, email spam filters and the content Netflix recommends to you during your weekend series binge. There is no escaping AI in our modern world, so getting to grips with its core concepts and aiming to understand it will equip you to harness its power in all areas of your life.

Artificial intelligence has been a recurring theme of the silver screen since its earliest days, captivating (and frequently, horrifying) audiences with the prospect of sentient robots capable of equaling mankind’s unique traits like consciousness and ability to feel emotions. Over the decades, potential technological advancements were imagined in a myriad of ways. But more than that, sci-fi movies have also asked questions related to the moral, ethical and societal consequences of the use of technology like AI. In this article, we will be listing the 23 Best artificial intelligence movies that you can watch in 2022. So, in no particular order, let's dive in:


Best AI Movies The Matrix .jpg

It’s been over two decades since audiences were invited to take the red pill and question everything they knew about reality with the Matrix. This cyberpunk masterpiece is set in a not-too-distant future where a robotic AI system has enslaved human beings who are, however, unaware they’re trapped inside a simulated reality. Computer programmer/ hacker “Neo '' stumbles upon the truth and joins a rebellion together with others who had been freed against the Matrix, setting off an epic showdown between humans and dark-suited, sunglasses-sporting ‘Agents’, who’re in autonomous software programs. It’s hard to capture the full extent of the movie’s visionary concept. And what is the Matrix after all you may ask? Well, to quote directly from the movie, “You can’t be told what the matrix is, you have to see it for yourself”. The Matrix series remains a must-watch even after all these years.

Set in a neon-lit 2019 LA, the movie pits bioengineered humanoids (human replicants developed without the capacity to have emotions) against real humans. After six Replicants escape to earth in a bid to locate their creator and extend their limited life span of four years, a Blade Runner, played by Harrison Ford, is tasked with finding and shooting these humanoids.

**Synopsis:** “Blade Runner” Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with.

**Director:** Stanley Kubrick
**Top cast:** Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James.

Best AI Movies 2001 A Space Odyssey.jpg

Visionary director Stanley Kubrick set out to explore the idea of human coexistence with sentient computers in outer space in this futuristic epic that will have you thinking of red lights in... shall we say... a very different way. We won’t unveil much as to the why, but the cult classic delves deep into the reliance of humans on technology - and what happens when intelligent robots simply decide to rebel and take over. It’s a pretty chilling thought, especially when this dark apocalyptic thriller gets to the now infamous "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.”

**Synopsis:** An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer intelligent system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

**Director:** Stanley Kubrick
**Top cast:** Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Douglas Rain.
**Critic's rating:** 92% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.3/10 IMDb


A.I. Artificial Intelligence Movie Poster

Best AI Movies A.I. Artificial Intelligence.jpg

Stanley Kubrick had long planned to adapt author Brian Aldiss’s sci-fi short story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long into a movie before his death in 1999. Afterwards, Steven Spielberg inherited the rights to the tale, intending to follow through on Kubrick's original vision. The unrealized project became A.I. Artificial Intelligence, a film about David, a young cybertronic humanoid designed to help a couple overcome the absence of their ailing son. As a first of the kind, David is capable of having human emotions and the plot centers around his attempts to discover his true nature - and the secret behind his identity. Viewers are led to question the deeper issues behind using AI to create human-like systems and the collectible responsibility it should bring with it.

**Synopsis:** A robotic boy, the first programmed to love, David (Haley Joel Osment) is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee (Sam Robards) and his wife (Frances O'Connor). Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David. Without final acceptance by humans or machines, David embarks on a journey to discover where he truly belongs, uncovering a world in which the line between robot and machine is both vast and profoundly thin.

**Director:** Steven Spielberg
**Top cast:** Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Frances O'Connor, Brendan Gleeson, William Hurt.
**Critic's rating:** 75% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.2/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Minority Report.jpg

Making a comeback, just a year after the release of A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Steven Spielberg delved once more into AI technology with Minority Report. Starring Tom Cruise as Precrime police officer John Anderton, this neo-noir movie is set primarily in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia in a distant future, where PreCrime cops are able to arrest criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics known as 'precogs’. The dilemma arises when Anderton is accused of a future crime and has to run from his own unit while trying to prove his innocence.

Minority Report turned out to be predictive of modern computer science, foretelling technologies that have since become commonplace, including personalized ads, voice automation and gesture controlled computers. Even predictive policing, arguably Minority Report’s biggest theme, has become a reality nowadays. PredPol, an AI-based tool, has been deployed in approximately 40 agencies across the United States since 2012 to predict and prevent future crime.

**Synopsis:** Based on a story by famed science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, "Minority Report" is an action-detective thriller set in Washington D.C. in 2054, where police utilize a psychic technology to arrest and convict murderers before they commit their crime. Tom Cruise plays the head of this Precrime unit and is himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't even met.

**Director:** Steven Spielberg
**Top cast:** Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow.
**Critic's rating:** 90% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.7/10 IMDb
