Brand Equity:
Alvin Graylin has eagerly watched and followed multiple cycles of virtual and augmented reality hype over the last 30 years. He talks about his undergraduate days at University of Washington where he came in close contact with the Godfather of VR – Dr. Tom Furness. He has been deeply involved in developing innovative products in the AI, XR and
semiconductor industries. With rich experience in AI and Natural Language Processing, Alvin brings several interesting perspectives to the book.In the book, Graylin and Rosenberg navigate the reader through a world that will be dominated by AI. They explore the role of human beings in such a world, the advantages thereof and the guardrails that will be needed in
place to keep the sanity of mankind. They anticipate that humans will be a part of the AI-powered metaverse, but which will ignite several concerns around privacy. The duo argue that there will be a need for rigorous and
well thought through regulations to be brought in so that the metaverse of the future remains a safe and secure place for the human race. They advocate for the need for basic human rights to be respected. Which is easier said than done.
