Domestic and foreign technology companies collectively \”reduce\” the yuan universe

On March 4, it was reported that as the AIGC (using artificial intelligence technology to generate content) heatwave continued to sweep through, the heat of the metauniverse, which the technology industry had previously been enthusiastic about, fell. Recently, technology enterprises at home and abroad, such as ByteDance, Tencent, Meta, have made adjustments to the business of the metauniverse, changing the business development path or reducing staffing. Industry insiders said that technological development can be divided into fast and slow. In the short term, the metauniverse has become a \”slow technology\” and returned to rational development. In the long run, AI and VR hardware technology iteration will further promote the development of the metauniverse.

Interpretation of this information:

The message refers to recent developments in the technology industry regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate content and the falling interest in the concept of the metauniverse. The AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) heatwave, which is the increasing use of AI to create content, has been sweeping through the industry, but this trend has not translated into increased interest in the metauniverse, which is the concept of a shared virtual space that users can access through virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

The message highlights that several leading technology enterprises, including ByteDance, Tencent, and Meta, have made changes to their business strategies related to the metauniverse. This shift in focus indicates that the industry is moving away from the metauniverse concept, and the pace of technological development in this area has slowed down.

According to industry insiders, technological development can be classified as fast or slow, and the metauniverse has now become an example of slow technology. The industry has recognized the need to take a step back from the hype and to focus more on the rational development of the metauniverse.

However, the message also suggests that this step back is only temporary, and the industry expects a long-term revival driven by the continued advancement of AI and VR hardware technology. As these technologies continue to develop, they will further promote the development of the metauniverse.

Overall, the message highlights that the technology industry’s interest in the metauniverse has cooled as AI-generated content continues to grow in popularity. Though there have been changes in business strategies related to the metauniverse, the industry expects to return to the concept in the long term, driven by advancements in AI and VR technologies.
