Software developer Alethea AI, which created the world’s first “intelligent NFT,” just secured $16 million in funding via private token sale to create a metaverse populated by its bots.
Lead investors in the token sale included NFT fund Metapurse and investment firm Crypto.com Capital, as well as billionaire investor Mark Cuban, Dapper Labs, BITKRAFT, Galaxy Interactive, Sfermion, and LD Capital, according to an announcement from Alethea.
An NFT, for those who don’t know, is a digital deed of ownership that can be connected to just about anything—such as artwork, audio or video content. NFTs are typically minted and stored on the Ethereum blockchain.
But Alethea wants the NFT world to evolve past videos and expensive artwork into something with “fully interactive, engaging and autonomous agents that can learn and evolve from the environment.”
Therefore, the NFTs that will fill the metaverse will be talking, intelligent NFTs (iNFTs) created by Alethea: machine-learning
