Luxury fashion and beauty brand Yves Saint Laurent has filed NFT and metaverse trademark applications for its name and logo

Famed French luxury goods company Yves Saint Laurent Parfums SA is set to make its debut in the metaverse with an application for a trademark related to the use of non-fungible tokens (NFT) for virtual products.  The company will launch hair and body care products ready for beauty lovers to use in virtual worlds. Yves Saint Laurent Parfums also plans to open online retail stores offering cosmetics, perfumery, and other virtual beauty products. Yves Saint Laurent Beauté offered a collection of 10,000 NFTs minted on the Polygon blockchain for sale in June. Yves Saint Laurent is owned by French luxury conglomerate Kering, which also owns Gucci. The latter is an active web3 player that has developed several NFT collections and metaverse experiences. With this entry into the web3 space, it seems that Yves Saint Laurent plans to appeal to a younger audience. Or, like many other fashion and beauty brands, the company sees the metaverse becoming necessary for an overall marketing strategy. 2022 was a pivotal year for integrated projects between the fashion and beauty industries, and the burgeoning Web3 space. High-end brands such as Gucci, Lacoste, and Tiffany presented interface strategies between NFTs and blockchain technology aimed at giving token holders more economic power as cryptocurrency prices fell significantly.

How artificial intelligence will change our world?

Among the 6 technologies that will change the world, according to Google, artificial intelligence is one of them and the company’s executives said they would like to see what they can do in five years.  In ten years artificial intelligence will become decisive and will change our world. Work processes are simplified. Artificial intelligence will simplify many processes. Thus, for the education sector, this technology can be very useful because it allows us to personalize personal learning without going unnoticed. This is possible because artificial intelligence can recognize patterns. The brain-machine interface At a conference organized by Recode, the South African physicist and entrepreneur said, “Artificial intelligence and machine learning will create computers so complex that humans are putting their brains in a ‘neural race’ to keep up.” Autonomous cars and services This new technology is responsible for analyzing raw data to predict outcomes and recognize patterns; it is already used in Internet search systems, security programs, financial operations, and marketing recommendation functions. Companies already using artificial intelligence Google has been working on deep neural networks and speech recognition software for about four years. The company has been working on it for at least four years and has more than 1,000 employees dedicated to Alexa. Also, one that has been buzzing lately is Microsoft , which is looking to get its hands on OpenID, just as it has been working on an AI that mimics the user’s voice. Soon we will be seeing more companies dabbling in having their artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence: Who created it and what is it used for?

The history of artificial intelligence began in 1943 with the publication of the paper “A logical computation of ideas immanent in nervous activity” by Warren McCullough and Walter Pitts. But the term artificial intelligence was first used in John McCarthy’s 1956 lecture “Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence”. In turn, the same John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky founded the MIT Artificial Intelligence Project. In 1963, John McCarthy also created the “AI Laboratory” at Stanford University. In 1966, the US ALPAC report highlighted the lack of progress in machine translation research aimed at simultaneously translating the Russian language in the context of the Cold War. In 1997, the history of AI was marked by a major event. IBM’s Deep Blue AI triumphed over world chess champion Gary Kasparov. For the first time, the man was defeated by a machine. Today, technological advances enabled the resurgence of artificial intelligence. Modern history In 2012, Andrew Ng fed 10 million YouTube videos into a neural network as a training dataset. Artificial intelligence has also conquered the field of video games, notably with DeepMind AlphaStar in Starcraft or OpenAI Five in Dota 2. Modern history In 2012, Andrew Ng fed 10 million YouTube videos into a neural network as a training dataset. Artificial intelligence has also conquered the field of video games, notably with DeepMind AlphaStar in Starcraft or OpenAI Five in Dota 2. Specialized AI vs. general AI There are two main categories of artificial intelligence. Narrow AI, also called weak AI, works only in limited contexts. It tends to focus on doing one task and can do it perfectly well. However, while such a machine may appear to be intelligent, it is much more limited than human intelligence. In this category, we would find everyday artificial intelligence such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Home. In contrast, the second category is “general” artificial intelligence. It is a machine that can solve any problem with general artificial intelligence comparable to humans. Universal algorithms can be learned and work in any environment. But in reality, this type of AI does not yet exist.

Microsoft plans to invest 10 billion dollars in OPENAI, the company that created Chat GPT

Microsoft plans to invest 10 billion dollars in OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company that created ChatGPT, the chat system created by robots that, after only one month of life, has achieved great success, according to the specialized media. The operation would raise OpenAI’s value to 29 billion dollars. Microsoft will retain 75% of OpenAI’s profits until it recovers the amount of its investment. OpenAI’s ownership structure would be 49 % shares for Microsoft, an identical percentage for other investors, and 2 % for OpenAI’s non-profit parent organization. ChatGPT’s success Since its creation last month, ChatGPT has been a sensation in the world of artificial intelligence by creating predictive texts written by robots and achieving a great appearance of verisimilitude by working with millions of data that it constantly incorporates into the system. Thus, the chat cannot only answer questions with concrete and updated information but it has been shown to create reasoned texts in the form of essays. Schools are already looking to block this system The New York public school network has blocked the system on all network-dependent devices to prevent its possible use by students to answer exam questions or create texts for school purposes. A few weeks ago, Morgan Stanley published a report in which it considered that ChatGPT could become a threat to the leading search engine par excellence, Google, by jeopardizing its current undisputed position as the entry point to the Internet for millions of people, as reported today by CNBC.

Types of Artificial Intelligence that exist

Different types of artificial intelligence offer different ways to make machines think and act like humans. Unlike what we are used to seeing in movies, various types of artificial intelligence are not so utopian and are already all around us. echnology has only helped to carry out the most sophisticated processes, especially in digital marketing.   Automation is one of the main benefits brought to life by artificial intelligence, and it has since changed everything in marketing. Below go the 7 types of artificial intelligence: Artificial intelligence is narrowly defined (ANI). ANI is a more flexible type of artificial intelligence that does not adapt to the requirements of any particular system or machine. Its role is to focus you on one task and engage you in all its complexities. Among its characteristics, ANI is an artificial intelligence with limited reactivity and memory. Moreover, all other models can be considered a variant of ANI. The technical classification is that ANI is an intelligence that cannot reproduce human behavior but only simulates it. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Among the types of artificial intelligence, AGI is considered powerful and profound as machines capable of mimicking human intelligence and possessing vast behavioral capabilities. This ability to adapt to different scenarios resolves activities very close to the human mind. Their learning capacity and cognitive level are very high. Super Artificial Intelligence (ASI) This category of artificial intelligence is still being developed and improved, although in an advanced state. This is the model that inspired the movie to create a Terminator-like reality or robot me. The idea is that you can be as smart or even smarter than a human. ASI’s development pipeline strives to make these robots superior to humans in every way. The machines will become better athletes, scientists, artists, and even doctors. Reaction machine Among the types of artificial intelligence, reactive machines are the simplest and oldest known. This is an introductory model with a much more limited capability than the models presented. Its function is very simple. It reproduces human behavior when stimulated. That is, only reactive actions. These machines have no memory, so they cannot learn and manage internal databases to execute what they absorb. Limited memory A machine with limited memory is fully reactive like the previous example, but with the advantage of having less memory available. Naturally, these machines build a small database of the user’s interaction history. Improved memory and improved performance. Memory-limited intelligence bases are still in use today and can be found in facial recognition systems, virtual assistants, chatbots, and more. Theory of mind Theory of mind is a form of artificial intelligence that has been the subject of much research in recent years. As such, the theory of mind is precisely concerned with the emotions, needs, and introspection processes presented by the human mind. In addition to general research developments, this process is also based on understanding the factors in the human mind that lead to different emotions and reactions. Self-awareness Self-awareness is just an idea, a concept that guides the development of artificial intelligence. This is the highest level of development that artificial intelligence can achieve and, of course, it takes time and a lot of effort. The idea is that this artificial intelligence understands all emotions, has its own emotions, and can understand every detail that happens to people who interact with it.

Rolls Royce partners with British painter to launch ‘Six Elements’ NFT

The automaker commissioned British artist Sacha Jafri to endow the vehicle with a unique work of art. What makes this collection of cars so special? What makes these cars unique are the artists Rolls-Royce works with to build them. Rolls-Royce Abu Dhabi and Rolls-Royce Dubai began the project by commissioning British artist Sacha Jafri to create unique artwork for the six vehicles in ‘The Gallery’, a glazed space that runs the length of the Phantom’s dashboard. Elemental design The cars were designed to represent the five elements (wind, water, air, earth, and fire) and humanity, referencing Jafri’s ‘Journey of Humanity’. This work of art holds the official Guinness World Record for being the largest canvas painting ever created. Rolls-Royce began the project in late 2020 and it took two years to complete. An NFT with your purchase Rolls-Royce also gives each Phantom an NFT (non-fungible token), which the owner can sell, with each transaction resulting in a fee being paid to a digital wallet that raises funds for future charitable donations. “We saw this project as a unique opportunity for the exchange of ideas between the art world and our specialties in design, materials, and craftsmanship; A sense of discovery and sharing inspiration shines through in this extraordinary car,” said Michelle Lusby, Head of Bespoke Design based in Rolls-Royce’s private office in Dubai. Rolls-Royce updated the Phantom earlier this year.

What is AI?

Artificial intelligence is the ability of machines to mimic the way humans learn and reason. This branch of computing aims to replicate cognitive processes in machines. Depending on what you are trying to emulate, there are Artificial Intelligences that think like humans and others that act like humans, because it takes into account emotion and other similar aspects such as creativity. How does AI work? For Artificial Intelligence to work, data is needed, so the development of this technology goes hand in hand with others such as Big Data, the Internet of Things, or 5G mobile networks. In addition to this data, it also uses an algorithm. An algorithm is a set of instructions for a machine to set a pattern, i.e. a predefined behavior is created to handle data. How did artificial intelligence originate? John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence” in 1955. In 1956, McCarthy and several others organized a conference called the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence. This meeting led to the creation of machine learning , deep learning, predictive analytics, and now prescriptive analytics. Why is artificial intelligence important? Today, the amount of data generated by both humans and machines far exceeds the ability of humans to absorb, interpret and make complex decisions based on that data. Artificial intelligence is the foundation of all machine learning and the future of all complex decision-making processes. AI (and the logical evolution of machine learning) and deep learning are the foundation of the future for business decision-making. Why is artificial intelligence important?

Turkey to start using blockchain-based ID for online services

Shortly after the Central Bank of Turkey will complete the first test of its CBDC, Turkey launched a blockchain-based digital identity application. A digital Turkey in 2023 Turkey plans to use blockchain technology to log into online public services. e-Devlet, Turkey’s government digital portal used to access a wide range of public services, uses blockchain-based digital identities to verify Turkish citizens’ logins. Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay announced during the Digital Türkiye 2023 event that citizens will be able to access e-wallet applications using blockchain-based digital identities, reports Cointelegraph Turkey. Turkey is a crypto country Turkey is obsessed with cryptocurrencies, especially Dogecoin, study reveals Oktay called blockchain-based applications a revolution in e-government efforts and added that online services are becoming more secure and accessible thanks to blockchain technology. Users can store digital information on their cell phones. “A login system that works in the realm of digital wallet applications will allow citizens to log in to e-Devlet with a digital ID created on the blockchain network,” Turkey’s vice president said. New blockchain-driven projects could become a reality in more and more countries Turkey has announced several blockchain-encouraged projects in recent years, but very few have come to fruition so far. The country’s plans for a national blockchain-based infrastructure date back to 2019. But aside from a few proof-of-concept projects and a central bank digital currency trial that came after some delays, its blockchain-based ambitions are what they have hopes. Turkey’s Konya cultural center has been developing a project for a city currency that citizens will use to pay for public services, but no further progress on this has been communicated to the public in the past two years.

Ferrari Abandons Crypto Sponsorships After F1 NFTs Drop.

Ferrari in Formula 1 has ended its brief involvement in the cryptocurrency market after spending all of 2022 sponsored by one brand. Ferrari is another Formula 1 automaker that has not renewed a contract with cryptocurrency companies in recent months. After terminating its contract with Vela blockchain Ferrari exits the cryptocurrency market after sponsorship Below the tokens, blockchain candles can still be seen stamped on the releases, apparently indicating a healthy assignment between the parties. As of the end of 2021, Ferrari has announced a deal with Candles (VLX), Ethereum’s rival cryptocurrency. According to Decal Spotters profile, which tracks sponsorship moves between brands, Velas Blockchain and mobile processor brand Snapdragon were already removed from the list of sponsors on Ferrari’s official website. Ferrari announced a long-term partnership with Velas at the end of 2021 and a strategic partnership with Snapdragon in early 2022. Scuderia Ferrari has not officially confirmed the end of the contract, nor has Velas Blockchain, which still claims to be the automaker’s sponsor in its description. Vela’s price drops On January 5, 2022, when VLX achieved its peak, each coin was worth $0.56. It is worth remembering that fearing the cryptocurrency market, some Formula 1 company recorded problems with sponsorships. It is unclear whether Ferrari pulled out of the market due to concerns or precautionary measures, but given the instability of cryptocurrencies, the main brand will not be sponsored by cryptocurrency companies in the 2023 season.

Apple increases its commission with applications that sell NFTs

Apple updated the App Store guidelines and included a section reporting that apps wishing to exchange NFTs must use its in-app purchase system. However, recent updates to the App Store guidelines make it clear that Cupertino also wants its share of the non-fungible token exchange. The Californian company yesterday released a list of modifications and additions to the guidelines that apps wishing to appear in the App Store must meet. And the most striking point is that all transactions made with NFT must be processed through the in-app purchase system. This means that apps that trade with NFT have to pay Apple up to 30% commission. “Apps can allow users to view their own NFTs, as long as ownership of the NFTs does not unlock features or functions within the app. Apps may allow users to browse other people’s collections of NFTs, as long as they do not include buttons, links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchases.” On the one hand, it is not surprising that it is trying to adapt the mechanics of the apps that are part of the App Store, given that this is a strict policy it has enforced for years. Apple seeks to take a share of what NFTs generate in the App Store. Apple maintains that its policy of not allowing external payment methods in the App Store seeks to protect its users’ information. Tim Sweeney, the studio’s post-Fortnite CEO, has no qualms about charging Apple after updating its App Store guidelines. “For cryptocurrency enthusiasts, this means that Apple is now adding a 30% tax on so-called ‘beneficial ownership’ of digital assets.

Polygon outperforms the big boys in NFT market cap

According to a Dec. 29 tweet from economist Alex Kruger, recent developments led Solana to double its market cap to double that of Polygon. One of the reasons for the growing interest in Polygon is the burgeoning NFT market. What led to this new surge of new NFT interest? Simultaneously, the appearance of Donald Trump launching his NFT collection on Polygon and social media giants like Reddit and Instagram collaborating with Polygon are positively impacting the NFT market. The reality seems to be otherwise Although Polygon is attracting interest in its NFT, the same interest is not reflected in the price of MATIC. The price of the token declined after December 14. Prices hovered between $0.81 and $0.77 during the week and then fell by 8.19%. What’s at stake for Polygon? The number of participants in the network is 23,168. While the number of participants has continued to increase on the Polygon network, the on-chain metrics show that overall activity on the network has decreased. This is shown by the decrease in the number of transactions on the Polygon network over the last month. Simultaneously, the volume on the Polygon network fell during the same period.

Visa proposes automatic payments using Starknet

Visa says that self-service wallets can use a unique “account abstraction” method to set up automatic recurring payments on StarkNet because existing smart contracts do not allow this feature. Account abstraction Payment processor Visa recently proposed a solution called “account abstraction” that uses smart contracts to enable automatically scheduled payments on Ethereum. This solution involves the creation of smart contracts that act as intermediaries between user accounts and contract accounts and enables the creation of self-sufficient wallets that can make automatic recurring payments without the need for users to actively participate. Use of the Blockchain Network. This move will allow recurring payments to be made entirely on the blockchain network, which currently lacks that capability, according to Visa. There are currently two types of accounts on the Ethereum network: externally owned accounts (EOA), controlled by private keys, and contract accounts (CA), which are essentially smart contracts. However, by using account abstraction, it is possible to create smart contracts that can initiate transactions on behalf of the EOA and enable the creation of self-custodial wallets for automatic recurring payments, Visa said. Account Abstraction (AA) This is a proposal that seeks to combine user accounts and smart contracts into a single account type on the Ethereum blockchain. With a delegated account, users can delegate the ability to make payments to pre-approved smart contracts known as “automatic payment contracts,” Visa says. In theory, it could work like this: when a user visits a merchant’s website and agrees to allow automatic payments, the address of the automatic payment contract is added to the user’s authorization list.

This company advertises the PokéWorld game on its website. It also said that it has worked on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon HOME, and Pokémon Dream in the past, which is not true. Among this whole issue is also $POKESHARD, the in-game currency that helped take care of these creatures. Pokemon and NFTs In this game that mixes Pokémon and NFTs, the pocket monsters are pets more than anything else. All this didn’t sit well with The Pokémon Company, which filed a lawsuit and the first hearing was held on December 21. While the company’s lawyers were present, no one showed up for Pokémon Pty Ltd/Tokiota Studios. Mainly because it did not acquire the proper rights to work on such a game. It was an outright infringement of The Pokémon Company’s intellectual property. On previous occasions, this company has sent “cease and desist letters” to those developing Pokémon fan games.

The importance of the digital marketplace with the metaverse and NTFs

First of all, it should be noted that companies can develop their business in the Metaverse through NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens. These are nonfungible tokens which are an object similar to a currency in the digital world, but without legal tender value since it is created by a private entity, as is the case of cryptocurrencies. Coins as legal tender are fungible: if you need to pay with euros, it doesn’t matter. Uses of NFTs Their use started with collectors, as was the case in numismatics (collecting coins, medals, tokens, and paper money), but has moved to the digital world. In music for limited editions, in cinema to buy movies, in sports athletes sell their image as NFT and in fashion, where it evolves more along with the world of video games, physical products are sold but in the virtual world. “A participant can walk through a virtual mall and buy a digital Mickey Mouse costume for their avatar at the Disney Store, then go to the food court to pick out some food and have it delivered to their home via Uber Eats. and enjoy a live Beatles concert at the Spotify Performing Arts Center. You can watch the concert on your AirPods on Spotify whenever you want to run in the physical world and compete against your friends in an AR Peloton-like experience. How to create an NFT On this website, we find the testimony of Emily Dickinson, a poet who turned her works into NFTs to sell them. As he tells us, the first step is to define the concept, that is, to give a name and meaning to what you are going to create. Fortunately, almost no programming knowledge is required to coin NFT, and there are platforms or marketplaces such as OpenSea or Rarible that make things easier for the user. For example, OpenSea uses Ethereum and Polygon as blockchains. It requires an ETH wallet like MetaMask or Coinbase and pays the fees charged by the blockchain used. Now with this, we are ready to connect to the community. How NFTs are linked to the Metaverse The Internet started with Web 1.0, where it was read-only, designed for businesses, applications were digital forms and based on home pages. It allows reading and writing, it is made for communities, the applications are digital and it is based on social networks. Social networks that form communities and blogs appear and change the concept of the Internet. And the next will be Web 3.0, where privacy is intended, it is made for people, applications are intelligent and it is based on blockchain technology. Examples of NFTs in the metaverse NFTs of Beeple’s works were sold by Christie’s auction house for over €69 million. The first tweet was converted to NFT and sold on Ethereum for almost $3 million. The first record to be sold as NFT was made by Kings of Leon for over $2 million. It consists of setting up an online virtual environment where users can interact, talk, and generally communicate. Problems selling NFTs in the metaverse Tarantino has created seven NFTs that he intends to sell, consisting of a digitally scanned scene from the handwritten pulp fiction script, with the director’s voiceover. For this, Miramax sued Tarantino in November 2021, alleging that the director had no rights to develop, market, and sell NFT related to the production company’s films. The most recent and notorious lawsuit was by Nike, a shoe brand, against Stockx, an online marketplace for selling shoes, primarily for selling unauthorized images of Nike shoes as NFT. And this lawsuit is filed based on trademark infringement, so shoppers are not confusing NFT with the shoes Nike sells. StockX receives the shoes for resale, and verifies that they are genuine, which is an additional value, so Nike’s claim cannot be based on counterfeiting or infringement of image rights, intellectual property, etc., since the shoes become the StockX truly manufactured by Nike simply because their originality translates into NFT.

The potato chip brand Sabritas has launched the NFTazos

At the end of November, Sabritas announced NFTazos, a line of digital collectibles based on the iconic original Tazos that circulated in Mexico mainly in the 1990s. What are NFTazos and how do they work? Unlike other NFT products that can be reviewed or purchased on platforms such as OpenSea, NFTazos are exclusive to JOY APP, but despite living within its independent ecosystem, they are backed by the Certificate of Authenticity inherent to these collectibles. from the Vatom platform. Traditional cash or cryptocurrencies cannot be used to purchase them nor do they have a retail price, as they are only available through JOY, as they serve as rewards for consumers of PepsiCo branded products, by getting them they can earn points to be redeemed within the catalog by entering participating packaging codes. One of their advantages is that there is no fee to acquire them, unlike the rest of the NFTs, which require paying a “fee” in addition to the price of the token to obtain them. Is there a future for NFTazos? For now, Sabritas notes that, as part of the first phase, the tokens will not grant access to more content or include additional benefits or rewards, and that part will be reviewed as the process moves forward to “offer differentiated experiences for users.” “User. This might not be the best way to use NFTazos. While the tokens are solely in each user’s wallet within the JOY APP, more interactivity is envisioned in the future, initially as a collectible, but then also with the ability to redeem or even play with them.
