AI is turning tables in NFT innovation! Here are 3 projects to look out!
What happens when Artificial Intelligence and NFTs come together? It opens up a whole new dimension for NFTs with capabilities that you would’ve never imagined.
NFTs, in their way, are a progressive way of bringing value for the digital collectibles. With AI arriving in this industry of collectibles, it takes its value and importance a level higher.
NFTs or Non-fungible Tokens have risen to popularity in the last 12 months with record sales in the previous quarter. More and more creators are trying to bring their digital collectibles to take them to the next level.
Several creators and firms have already taken the initiative in this avenue with development started on creating AI-infused NFTs that would bring in the next level of innovation.
American billionaire entrepreneur funded Alethea AI, Fetch.ai — a digital art generating AI and advances in erotic art AI with Aiko are leading the industry.
The appeal of NFTs
NFTs have been appealing since it was introduced, but the last 12 months have been significant. The digital form of art that relies on blockchain technology is an exciting investment prospect and a collectible in the new age.
With their uniqueness and the ability to preserve value, NFTs have also re-awakened new hope for creators who were left in the dark with piracy and copyright issues.
And NFTs aren’t just limited to images, illustrations but include a whole lot of things. Modern-day NFTs can be images, videos, transcripts, domains, or even audio files — whatever is digital.
In this creative ecosystem, the addition of artificial intelligence is the new age of NFTs. AI has several operational capabilities when it comes to NFTs.
The developments can mean that AI could give life to the NFTs and make them ‘intelligent,’ or users can use this tech to generate unique NFTs.
These AI-infused NFTs have gained massive social media traction across the internet with their unique value, with everyone anxiously waiting for the next big thing that takes the marketplace forward.
Here, we look at three critical projects currently in development and use that integrate AI with NFTs.
1 Alethea AI
American billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is one of the major investors betting their money on Alethea AI, a Singapore-based startup creating intelligent NFTs.
In August, the company announced that it raised $16 million through a private and restricted token sale to bring innovation to NFTs.
Alethea AI is playing to the growing needs of NFTs in the marketplace with the tagline “Give your NFT superpowers.”
With Alethea AI, they have been able to combine the AI-Powered engine into digital art. In a way, you get to bring the art you create to life with the AI interactions with animations, interactions, and voice synthesis capabilities.
In other terms, the company is creating a whole new generation of living, talking, and intelligent artworks.
Alethea AI is heavily interested in bringing to life existing NFTs in the marketplace — develop them and turn them into something much more than just art. One of the potential future projects that the Singapore-based company is looking at is giving life to CryptoPunk with abilities to rap.
2 Fetch AI
Fetch AI is another decentralized AI machine that launched an NFT token to enable content creators to generate digital assets through AI. The AI creates unique pieces of art combining the work of over 100 different artists.
The new platform — tagged as Colearn Paint brings in these possibilities, and in three steps, an NFT is generated. The first step of the process starts at the bidding phase, where collectors will need to participate.
The winning bidder will get the chance to input a ‘randomness pattern’ and select art from the prearranged options.
The NFTs that Fetch AI would generate will all be unique and hold value for the longest of times. The AI will customize your painting at every attempt to win the auction, and you will open yourself to collect different abstract paintings that hold value.
The AI integration with digital art is relatively new, and Fetch AI’s Colearn paint learns new patterns and structures.
3 Aiko
Aiko is the next step in the AI market that connects the erotic art niche. Erotic art has existed from the earliest of times and is something that we cannot ignore.
With Aiko, the creators are looking to connect to the erotic art fan base who want to own a collectible.
At first, Aiko is a plain avatar without any customizations. Once you place your bid and get the winning match, the Aiko (avatar) will start chatting with you to know a few of your preferences.
Next, when you generate the NFT, you will receive a customized NFT mix of 10,000 different layers.
This is the first 10,000 collection by Aiko, through their “I’M AIKO” collection, a collection of different skin layers, facial layers, etc. Aiko’s uniqueness go a level further with options like hairstyles, body parts, and tatoo, piercings, and many more.
The creators of Aiko aim to bring back the fantasy art lovers and the erotic art enthusiasts in a way where they are given the choice of generating their own Aiko.
At least attempt you will find a completely random Aiko generated. All of these Aiko will be special since these will also be one of a kind.
The first collection of 10,000 Aiko will make its way to the Solana blockchain, and collectors have the choice of making their bids on the Solana NFT marketplaces — Solanart.io, Digitaleyes.market & Solea.io.
AI NFT — the next step in digital content ownership
With strides already made in the avenue of AI, this trend will continue, and more projects are expected to arrive based on this promise. To learn, Fetch AI’s is a creative way to bring out the digital paintings — each different from another.
Similarly, what Alethea AI is trying to build is the next level from the existing singular form of NFTs in illustration and image form.
Aiko’s AI engine appeals to a whole new audience. Its innovative AI will create an entirely new sector connecting the fantasy world with NFTs, along with AI.
Aiko’s innovative first-of-its-kind erotic art AI makes its way to the Solana NFT marketplaces on 10th October.
