CSIAC Webinar: The Art and Science of Metawar

The “metaverse” is the most powerful, addictive, reality distortion machine ever conceived, and it can predict the future.  It is an evolving storytelling environment in which humans have congregated for a millennia to experience alternate, immersive, and simulated realities, with or without technology. And storytelling is designed to influence mental and physical perceptions that suit the content creator’s purpose.

Metawar is the art of applying science to create and defend against the influence of alternate realities in any version of the metaverse.  But what if we can no longer rely on our senses to determine what is real and what is fiction?

In this webinar, we will tackle human carbon-based sensory networks and how they synchronize, both internally and with external silicon-based networks to create our objective and subjective realities in evolving iterations of the metaverse.  We will also examine the tech and neurotech behind orchestrating distorted realities and experiences that create believable, artificial, immersive simulations.

Because the metaverse can predict the future, the security and privacy implications are beyond profound.  As such, we will add some investigate speculative future tech, and discover what it means to be a human being in this environment.

Topics covered in this webinar include the following:

• What Is the “Metaverse”
• Reality Distortion
• Misinformation
• Addiction in the Metaverse
