SIBM Pune and Swansea University to jointly organise seminar series on various topics on the metaversePune (Maharashtra) [India], January 12: Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and the metaverse undoubtedly offer the transformative potential for the augmentation and potential replacement of human-performed tasks and activities within a wide range of industrial, intellectual, and social applications. The pace of change for this new AI technological age is staggering, with new breakthroughs in algorithmic machine learning and autonomous decision-making, coupled with developments related to blockchain, IoT and the metaverse, engendering new opportunities for continued innovation. The impact and widespread adoption of these technologies are likely to be transformational within sectors ranging from agriculture, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, supply chain, logistics and utilities. The metaverse has the potential to extend the capabilities and constraints of the physical world using augmented and virtual reality technologies, allowing users to seamlessly interact within real and simulated environments (Dwivedi et al., 2022- Metaverse beyond the hype: Multidisciplinary perspectives on emerging challenges, opportunities, and agenda for research, practice and policy. International Journal of Information Management, 66, 102542).Although the technology and infrastructure do not yet exist to allow the development of new immersive virtual worlds at scale – one that our avatars could transcend across platforms, researchers are increasingly examining the transformative impact of the metaverse. Impacted sectors include marketing, education, and healthcare, as well as societal effects relating to social interaction factors from widespread adoption, and issues relating to trust, privacy, bias, disinformation, application of law as well as psychological aspects linked to addiction and impact on vulnerable people (Dwivedi et al., 2022-Metaverse marketing: How the metaverse will shape the future of consumer research and practice.
