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

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

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

 

### 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.

Best AI Tokens To Invest In 2023

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. 

**Synopsis:** Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality? When a beautiful stranger (Carrie Ann Moss) leads computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth- the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.

**Top cast:** Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn.
**Critic's rating:** 100% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.1/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Robocop.jpg

Fascination with all things ‘cyberpunk’ reached fever pitch in the 80’s, not just with cult classics like Blade Runner (1982) and The Terminator (1984), but also greatly thanks to Paul Verhoeven’s human/machine action-packed revenge thriller - Robocop. The backdrop of this sci-fi movie is dystopian, crime-ridden Detroit where a police officer named Alex J. Murphy is recreated by a shady megacorporation - Omni Consumer Products - as a cyborg known as RoboCop after being murdered by a vicious criminal gang. The part-man, part-machine super-cop is then tasked with cleaning up the city’s streets, while struggling to understand some of his repressed (human) memories as they resurface. RoboCop is said to be the movie that first raised the issue of AI Ethics, laying out some of the potential dangers of misusing the technology. Despite being over three decades old, RoboCop remains one of the top artificial intelligence films ever made. 

**Synopsis:** In a dystopic, gang-ridden Detroit in near-collapse. In an effort to stamp out crime, the forces in power reconstruct the body of a policeman, killed on duty, within a steel shell and call it RoboCop.

Tech has long been a silver screen favorite - and AI has become an ever more popular theme. Here's a list of the best artificial intelligence movies and what makes them worth watching right now.

Best Artificial Intelligence Movies: 20+ Titles To Watch Now

Best Artificial Intelligence Movies

Artificial intelligence (AI) is growing at an astonishing pace and as it continues unveiling new promises for the future, AI is also becoming an attractive investment proposition.

The first uses of AI can be seen in today's technology, with interactive apps, voice-driven personal virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, automated cars, and suggested search ideas seen on search engines like Google.

In the future, artificial intelligence will extend to devices that can autonomously learn and evolve, enhance and create new experiences and offer solutions that one day can match human intelligence. AI supercomputers are also being built to solve complex humankind problems and find solutions to issues like incurable forms of cancer, which will not only make today’s technology obsolete but will open the doors for an even bigger growth of the AI sector as a whole.

Over the next two years, the global artificial intelligence industry is expected to grow to $554 billion in total revenue by 2024, according to market research firm IDC.

And with virtually every major industry being disrupted by this technology, the opportunities for investors are becoming hard to ignore. With that in mind, here are the best artificial intelligence stocks to keep track of in 2022.


## 10 Best AI Stocks In 2022

 

### 1. [Nvidia Corp.](https://www.nvidia.com) (NVDA)

Graphics chip mammoth NVIDIA Corporation ranks at the top of the best artificial intelligence stocks in 2022. The reason why Nvidia is a well regarded company in the industry comes down to its high-end chips that power advanced artificial intelligence applications, including one of the world’s leading supercomputers, Leonardo, as well as its very own upcoming AI supercomputer Eos.

The company is not only a leader in providing chips with massive processing power, Nvidia is equally a major player in semiconductors that are needed to power a number of key technologies like cloud computing, data centers, AI and machine learning capabilities, gaming and, of course, the metaverse. In all, the chip company serves five primary markets—gaming, data center, professional visualization, automotive, original equipment manufacturer (OEM)

At its annual GTC conference, Nvidia unveiled an [extensive range of AI-focused enterprise products](https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/22/22989182/nvidia-ai-hopper-architecture-h100-gpu-eos-supercomputer) that includes new-generation chips with a processing power of as much as nine times higher than their predecessors. Nvidia's stock hit an all-time high last year as its gaming and data center GPU business fuelled growth throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

The end-end chipmaker has also seen a whopping 380% rally over the past three years, although analysts warn that that cycle might be cooling off. Over the past year, Nvidia's shares have provided a [total return of 73.1%](https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=NASDAQ%3ANVDA), well above the S&P 500's total return of 13.8%.


### 2. [Alphabet Inc.](https://abc.xyz) (GOOG, GOOGL)


Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet is currently the world’s largest AI company, focusing on a wide range of global online services. The California-based tech giant owns operations including Youtube, Google Cloud, Google Play, Android, Google Pay, Waze, among many others.

More importantly, Alphabet is a leading name in the artificial intelligence sphere, developing a diverse range of AI services and products, including a self-driving company named Waymo, AI voice interface Google Duplex and being the parent company of DeepMind Technologies, which is dedicated to developing general-purpose artificial intelligence technology (AGI).

In addition, artificial intelligence is deeply integrated into many facets of Alphabet’s business practices, from content promotion to ad pricing, and much more. 

Alphabet has managed to become one of the world's largest technology conglomerates, with a market capitalization of $1.75 trillion as of March, 2022. The company also posted a net income of $76 billion on revenue of $257.6 billion for 2021.

### 3. [Amazon.com Inc.](https://www.amazon.com) (AMZN)

Another key player in AI is Amazon. The e-commerce giant makes extensive use of artificial intelligence across its company wide operations.This includes the algorithms it runs for e-commerce searches, target advertising and Amazon Web Services (AWS). And there is, of course, the widely popular virtual assistant Alexa which is used by 40 million people in the US alone. Amazon might be better known for its e-commerce services but it’s quickly becoming a name to be reckoned with when it comes to AI. Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

There are many other projects in which Amazon uses AI, including [Amazon’s Prime Air](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Prime-Air/b?ie=UTF8&node=8037720011) delivery drones and fully automated grocery stores - [Amazon Fresh](https://www.amazon.com/fmc/m/30003175?almBrandId=QW1hem9uIEZyZXNo).

Earlier, Amazon’s founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos had said about the technology: ”Much of what we do with machine learning happens beneath the surface. Machine learning drives our algorithms for demand forecasting, product search ranking, product and deals recommendations, merchandising placements, fraud detection, translations, and much more. Though less visible, much of the impact of machine learning will be of this type — quietly but meaningfully improving core operations.”

While Amazon’s Q1 2022 revenue report was below estimates (it was the first quarter that the tech giant has posted a net loss in at least four years), Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue did exceed consensus estimates, seeing a 37% year-over-year (YOY) increase.

### 4. [Meta Platforms Inc](https://about.facebook.com/meta/). (FB)

Meta (formerly Facebook) has started to put increased focus and investment on its augmented- and virtual-reality products and services as part of its plan to build the metaverse. As part of this push, Meta has also doubled down on AI technology, building the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), which was hailed by the tech giant as the world fastest AI Supercomputer. Meta uses artificial intelligence to power things such as advertising algorithms and news feeds.

As of 2021, the company breaks down its financial results into two segments: Family of Apps (FoA), which includes the Meta’s main social media platform, Facebook, as well as Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and other services, and Reality Labs (RL), which includes the company’s augmented- and virtual-reality products and services like the Quest VR headsets. Meta also recently announced it would be opening its first physical store - the [Meta Store](https://about.fb.com/news/2022/04/meta-retail-store/).

Meta reported a year-over-year growth of just 7% in the first quarter of 2022, the slowest pace of expansion in Facebook’s 10-year history as a public company.

In its most recent earnings report last week, Meta forecast a potential year-over-year revenue drop in the second quarter. Despite the recent tumble, analysts still put Meta at the top of AI stocks to keep an eye out for in 2022.

### 5. [International Business Machines Corp.](https://www.ibm.com) (IBM)

IBM has decades-long worth of research and development of AI applications, most notably its AI supercomputer Watson, which is currently a major competitor alongside other AI companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon. As one of the best tech stocks to watch this year, the cloud and software firm works with top companies spanning a number of industries, from finance to healthcare law and academia, to improve software applications and data analytics. IBM also offers consulting and hybrid cloud infrastructure to clients. In recent years, the company has placed great focus on becoming a leading provider in the hybrid cloud segment and AI that can be beneficial for companies looking to digitally transform their businesses. IBM reported a net income of $5.7 billion at the end of 2021, up 2.7% compared to the previous year. IBM is an AI stock you really want to keep in your list of potential investments in 2022.

### 6. [Microsoft Corp.](https://www.microsoft.com) (MSFT)

No tech stock market can be complete without mentioning software giant Microsoft Corporation as it's undoubtedly one of the top AI stocks in 2022. Continuing a trend seen in recent years, Microsoft has continued placing significant investment on AI and cloud computing services under the [Azure platform](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/). Microsoft's cloud computing network was built with the objective of training AI models to produce complex AI infrastructures for developers and organizations. The company also runs Context IQ, an AI application targeted at Microsoft employees that helps search, predict and create suggestions. Microsoft's third quarter 2022 financial results saw the company posting a revenue of $49.4 billion and net income of $16.7 billion, beating expectations across the board.

### 7. [Palantir](https://www.palantir.com) (PLTR)

Serial entrepreneur Peter Thiel’s Palantir is a software development and data-mining firm that specializes in leveraging big data and AI to provide insights and analytics for a wide list of clients The company's primary business centers around secure data analytics software and management to the government and private organizations. Palantir's [Gotham](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/gotham/) platform collects and mines data for government agencies while [Foundry](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/foundry/) provides similar services for large enterprise clients. Palantir also runs the [Apollo](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/apollo/), which has been crucial in using artificial intelligence in space exploration. Palantir Technologies reported fourth quarter revenue that rose 41% to $1.54 billion at the end of 2021. Ridding the AI boom to the fullest extent, Palantir can be a promising investment when it comes to AI systems and AI data applications.


### 8. [Intel](https://www.intel.com/) (INTC)

Like Nvidia, Intel is a leader in the graphics processing units and CPU industry. The company also develops systems for cloud servers, self-driving cars, and AI technology. In particular, Intel has invested in AI hardware and software, including the Nervana processor, which is a deep learning processor. The chipmaker also has another AI processor dedicated to developing neural networks and visual recognition - Movidius. All in all, the company offers to clients an AI developer ecosystem that provides end-to-end software resources including optimized tools and frameworks for data analytics, traditional machine learning, and deep learning. Intel beat on the top and bottom lines for the first quarter of 2022, posting $18.35 billion in revenue. For all these reasons, Intel is among the top stocks to buy this year.

### 9. [C3.ai, Inc](https://c3.ai). (AI)
 
C3.ai is an enterprise AI software provider, which develops artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to helpe large organizations optimize and streamline operations. As a leader in the AI industry, C3.ai's recent contracts include a five-year deal with the U.S. Department of Defense worth $500 million. In 2022, the company has announced an expansion of AI-based services that extend to finance, healthcare, agriculture, life sciences, manufacturing, and more. The company's tools have been recognised as some of the best for companies to become more efficient across the cycle of operations, including chain management, energy efficiency, and customer engagement. As a younger company compared to others on this list C3.ai is yet to turn a profit, but given its best-in-class offerings that have been adopted across many industries and the AI solutions it has developed, this is still one of the stocks to consider this year.

### 10. [SentinelOne, Inc.](https://www.sentinelone.com) (S)
 
Last but not least, we are highlighting SentinelOne as the company is a leader in the AI software market. In particular, the firm offers both on-premise and cloud-native cybersecurity to organizations, which puts it ahead of competitors with just one of those offerings like CrowdStrike. By making extensive use of AI, SentinelOne can reduce its dependence on human analysis and active internet connections to activate its solutions, while leaving powerful artificial intelligence algorithms and AI technology more broadly to stay ahead in the market. The approach appears to be paying off as the company reported a 120% jump in revenue to $204.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

## Final Thoughts

Investors should know that investing in artificial intelligence ought to be treated like any other stocks - we suggest you do your own research, assess the fundamentals of each company and make sure you’re investing money you’re comfortable with losing in case of a market downturn (which, hopefully, won’t happen to you). That said, the companies listed above are suggestions and they don’t constitute financial advice on our part.

Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Stocks In 2022

Gaming is growing faster than ever before. The gaming industry is currently valued at $173 billion, with very positive indicators showing that it will surpass the $300 billion mark in the next five years. Behind this boom is a recent surge in new players, especially in mobile platforms, which have made gaming a more practical and easily accessible experience for the estimated 2.6 billion gamers worldwide.

But for many, being online just for fun is no longer their primary driver. As the saying goes, time is money and players have certainly taken notice that they're making a big investment in virtual experiences with little return. So they’ve started looking for ways to monetize their hobby. However, beyond the world of eSports, there haven't even been many opportunities for casual players to cash in on the effort they put into gaming - until now.

The rise of blockchain games has turned the tables on the gaming industry by making players, and not developers, the main financial decision-makers.Play-to-earn (P2E) crypto gaming is a trend that shouldn't be overlooked. But before we get into the details, it's worth understanding how it all works.


## What are blockchain games?

Blockchain is a form of ledger technology that functions as a recording and storing system for information and it can’t be hacked, tampered with or otherwise altered. A network's transaction history is, in principle, publicly available. Blockchain powers cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, opening a world of possibilities across virtual economies - and game developers have certainly realized the potential.

Typically, most games will have marketplaces where users can purchase and exchange items, like weapons, avatars and loot boxes. But they might not own any of it, even if they paid real money for it. That's because for most of gaming history, developers followed a centralized model which means that they've had full control over game dynamics, from the storyline to the game assets collected by players. Since it's all owned by one entity, players have no real ownership of their accounts and items. There are also other limitations associated with this model, including lack of transparency and potential for manipulation of game mechanics.

Blockchain introduced for the first time decentralized and fair virtual markets, where players have a real say as gaming companies no longer have total control over the entire gaming experience. The potential of blockchain in gaming extends beyond powering virtual economies:

Real ownership: blockchain-based games enable players to have real ownership and full control over their in-game assets. Assets are typically represented by unique non-fungible tokens (NFTs). 

Metaverses and interoperability: by linking in-game assets blockchain tokens, players can trade them across different game markets hosted on the blockchain.

Fair experience: blockchain enables the creation of open, distributed, and transparent ecosystems. Players and not gaming companies are in charge of game dynamics, and gamers can vote in favor of changes. This also prevents cheaters from spoiling the experience. 

Unlimited creativity: when a game runs on a centralized server, the developers can decide to shut it down at any time. With blockchain, players can continue playing a game even if the developers are no longer involved, and organically grow games with new narratives and assets. 

In 2017, the game [CryptoKitties](https://www.cryptokitties.co/) became the leading driver of this revolution by allowing users to buy, sell, and create different kinds of virtual kittens in the form of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, which turn each virtual kitten into a unique, collectible digital asset. The rarer the kitten, the higher the value it holds (the most expensive Cryptokitten was sold for $172,000).

This kickstarted a thriving virtual market that has since extended to many other titles.

## Can you earn money from blockchain games?

As mentioned, there are two features that make blockchain games unique: the integration of cryptocurrencies, which are used for in-platform payments, and the use of NFTs. NFTs are a significant step forward as they allow users to own unique assets that can be traded with other players within the same game or transferred between platforms. And much like in real-life economies, you can make money from marketplaces inside blockchain games.

The most dedicated players can earn tangible rewards for their creations, while those with artistic inclinations can design and sell collectible items. The potential is immense and game developers are only just getting started.

And some have entered the world of gaming just to become investors, while others have made it their [full-time occupation.](https://english.elpais.com/usa/2021-08-12/when-playing-video-games-becomes-a-full-time-job.html)

## How to get started with blockchain games?

So if you're convinced by what you've read so far, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get this going.
Let's break it down: first off, you'll need a computer or mobile device. Easy enough, right?
Then you'll have to pick a cryptocurrency exchange platform to convert your money into, well, cryptocurrency. There are [plenty of exchanges available](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/best-crypto-exchanges/), but the important thing is to choose one that fits your needs. Also, you might want to consider purchasing Ether since the majority of crypto gaming is based on the Ethereum blockchain. Ok, so now that you've got some Ether, what will you do with it? The same you'd do with physical money - find a place to store it and keep it safe. This is where you'll have to open a digital wallet, and again, there are [lots of options](https://www.investopedia.com/best-bitcoin-wallets-5070283) to choose from. From here, all that's left to do is pick a game to play.
And you're all set.

## Top Blockchain Games 2022

When compared to the traditional gaming industry, blockchain gaming is still very much a niche. But that isn't to say that can be scoffed at. While still a small parentage of the whole segment, there are now hundreds of crypto games and they're slowly racking up millions of players ([and a whole lot of money](https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/ethereum-axie-infinity-cryptocurrencies-tokens-slp-axs-markets-2021-8)).

So here's a quick look at the movers and shakers of the crypto gaming scene:

 

### Axie Infinity

The undisputed king of all crypto games, Axie Infinity has taken NFTs to a stratospheric level. Described by some as a Pokemon-like experience, this game is populated by Axies (or digital creatures), with each being an NFT. Players can buy, exchange and breed Axies, and also used them to battle other players or teams in seasonal tournaments. Rare Axies can be worth thousands of dollars and a plot of virtual land recently sold for $1.5 million. What sets Axie Infinity apart from other gaming platforms is its booming virtual economy, where in-game tokens — Smooth Love Potion (SLP) and Axie Infinity Shard (AXS) - are seeing massive gains (of [up to 5,700%](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/07/23/axie-infinity-token-price-doubles-in-2-days/) as of recently). And unlike other big-name players, Axie also encourages players to cash out. Finally, AXS can be converted to Ether or fiat. The game has been a particular hit in some countries, particularly in the Philippines, where players have gone from making it a side hustle to a [full-time occupation.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo-BrASMHU4)

### Blankos Block Party

Mythical Games was, of course, already a household name well before entering the crypto gaming market with Blankos. This game allows you to create your own colorful characters in the form of digital vinyl toys, with a focus on customized designs. It also lets users build and explore virtual worlds where they can collect unique 'Blankos', join quests and be a part of team games ("Block Parties"). Limited edition Blankos have been a major draw for investors, especially given the success of partnerships with names like Deadmau5 and Burberry.

### Upland

This blockchain-based game lets users buy, sell and trade virtual land mapped to the real world. "Digital landlords" can build properties and earn UPX coins. The project has mapped the cities of San Francisco and New York and allows you to buy virtual properties for sale linked to real-life addresses in these cities. More recently, the game implemented a Property-to-USD beta program that will allow players to sell properties for some real Benjamins.

### Mobox

This free-to-play option combines gaming with decentralized finance (DeFi) and runs on the Binance Smart Chain. The developers of Mobox have said that this approach will bring gaming closer to GameFi as a platform where players and investors can access games from different blockchains in one single place. The main goal of the game is to allow players to participate in NFT games freely and earn money by playing. MBOX tokens are used for transaction processing, staking and governance in order to influence the development and allocation of resources within the MOBOX ecosystem. Currently, there are three games available on the platform, with two more games expected to be announced sometime soon.

### Lightnite

Developed by the same team behind the Bitcoin arcade game portal Satoshi’s Games, Lightnite has been defined as a Fortnite-like battle royale game. This online multiplayer game rewards players with Bitcoin for shooting other players and microtransactions are entirely powered by the Lightning Network. Players who master the game and shoot more players have higher chances of earning more Bitcoin. On the other hand, players who get shot are penalized and lose Bitcoins. Lightnite's. All in-game assets can be tokenized and exchanged through an NFT marketplace - the Elixir Marketplace platform.

### Gods Unchained

As one of the many games inspired by Magic: The Gathering, this card fighter title is very similar to Hearthstone. Users build decks and play cards to fight and defeat opponents. As a blockchain-based game, players are able to completely own the cards they win and sell or trade them at will. Like physical collectible card games, some cards are incredibly rare and can be valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. For the more skeptical players who aren't ready to go all-in, there's a free-to-play option.

### CryptoKitties

It might have been one of the first games to draw attention to the potential of blockchain gaming and the one that opened the doors to the crypto-collectibles market, but CryptoKitties remains as popular as ever. Users can buy, breed and trade adorable cartoon-like cats with varying levels of rarity. As with other blockchain games, you own the cats and can sell them freely. CryptoKitties is a very simplistic but addictive game. However, buying and breeding new kittens has somewhat high Ether costs, which can hit your wallet quite hard.

### Splinterlands

Another game that is reminiscent of Pokémon, Yugi-oh and Magic, Splinterlands is a successful example of a card fighter experience with a player-driven economy. All cards and packs have real value and can be traded freely, and the game is simple and easy to learn. Players can purchase new cards through the official in-game shop or in the marketplace. Splinterlands has frequent expansions and updates, racking up an increasing number of players along the way. Rare cards have been released during recent updates, making the game an even more appealing prospect for players.

### Sandbox

Players in this virtual world, or metaverse, can own land, build, play, and participate in virtual experiences. By owning a sandbox plot of virtual land, you can monetize the experiences you create within the metaverse, which can be an interesting activity for artists or small developers who aren't at ease with other game engines. All Sandbox features can be purchased and sold using the SAND token, and ultimately players contribute toward constantly expanding this metaverse. More than just buying and selling virtual land, players can also trade NFTs that can be used to customize their avatar's appearance. Sandbox has become as popular as Minecraft and Roblox, and places great focus on developing a thriving community of users who can interact and share ideas to create more innovations across the platform.

### Cryptopop

For many players, this game might seem familiar. And indeed, Cryptopop takes inspiration from the hugely popular game Candy Crush. Players can earn points by matching the symbols of cryptocurrencies as they appear on screen. The higher the amount of matches, the greater the amount of points accumulated and targets change according to the levels unlocked. Players can also earn more money when participating in the in-game market, where they can also openly trade with other players. Cryptopop uses Ether and Popcorn as its main currencies.

### Illuvium

While technically a yet-to-be-released game, Illuvium has been gathering plenty of attention with the promise that it will be the first AAA game on Ethereum. But one thing is clear: Illuvium has all the right reasons to spark broad appeal. This open-world fantasy battle game is built on the Ethereum blockchain and is inhabited by creatures known as Illuvials, each with different abilities, classes and categories. Players can capture them and have them battle other Illuvials. Or they can simply sell their creatures in return for ILV tokens. Unlike many other games, 100% of in-game profits go back to players and stakeholders, and players are given the right to vote in product-related decisions via the Illuvian DAO.

## Why should you try crypto games?

There's nothing new about players wanting to monetize their gaming abilities and the time they spend in front of a screen. Blockchain gaming opens the doors wide open. Not only can you make money in transparent and fair virtual economies, you’ll also have real ownership of game assets and you’re effectively a stakeholder by contributing to a community-driven ecosystem (DAO) and having your voice heard on game-related decisions. None of this was possible in traditional, centralized gaming and as more crypto games emerge, the bigger the incentive for more players to join fairer and transparent virtual experiences.
