By building CICERO, Meta AI has created the first AI agent to achieve human-level performance in the complex natural language strategy game Diplomacy. CICERO demonstrated this by playing with humans on webDiplomacy.net, an online version of the game, where CICERO achieved more than double the average score of the human players and ranked in the top 10% of participants who played more than one game. The AI sent 5,277 messages to players in 72 hours of gameplay, and almost no one realized that they weren’t communicating with a human. Only one person expressed some suspicion, that one of the AI accounts is a bot.
This breakthrough rests in the achievement of combining two different areas of AI: strategic reasoning and natural language processing. The integration of these techniques gives CICERO the ability to reason and strategize with regard to players’ motivations, then use natural language to communicate, reach agreements to achieve shared objectives, form alliances and coordinate plans.
The Cicero is only able to play Diplomacy, but the technology behind it is relevant to many other applications. Current AI assistants can perform simple question-and-answer tasks, such as providing information about the weather, but with the further development of artificial intelligence, according to Meta AI specialists, they could even conduct long conversations to teach someone a new skill.
The British artificial intelligence company – DeepMind – has created an AI tool that helps in writing the script – it will generate character descriptions, plot points, as well as dialogue and location descriptions. Artificial intelligence has certainly helped many people become an “artist”, and with the help of a new tool designed by DeepMind, it will also support aspiring screenwriters.
Dramatron is a system that uses large language models that could be useful for authors for co-writing theatre scripts and screenplays. Dramatron uses hierarchical story generation for consistency across the generated text. Starting from a log line, Dramatron interactively generates character descriptions, plot points, location descriptions and dialogue. These generations provide human authors with material for compilation, editing, and rewriting.
To assess the usability and capabilities of Dramatron, DeepMind engaged 15 playwrights and screenwriters for two-hour research sessions with users to co-create scenarios with the tool. Respondents suggested that it would be useful for world building and would help them test other approaches in terms of changing plot elements or characters. They also noted that AI can be a great way to “generate creative ideas.”
What about copyright? Using Dramatron may raise questions about authorship. Last year, a UK appeals court ruled that artificial intelligence could not legally be considered an inventor and patented. DeepMind points out that Dramatron may display snippets of text that were used to train the language model, which, if used in a produced script, could lead to accusations of plagiarism. Therefore, it is always worth checking the generated scenario carefully in this respect.

Metaverse is the next evolution of digital technologies. It includes 3D virtualization and will transform digital technologies in the next 5–10 years. It is a collective virtual space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical and digital reality. In other words, it is device-independent and is not owned by a single vendor. It is an independent virtual economy, enabled by digital currencies and nonfungible tokens (NFTs).
A Metaverse represents a combinatorial innovation, as it requires multiple technologies and trends to function. Contributing tech capabilities include augmented reality (AR), flexible work styles, head-mounted displays (HMDs), an AR cloud, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and spatial technologies.
There is a lot of excitement around Metaverse, much of it driven by technology companies preemptively claiming to be Metaverse companies, or creating Metaverses to enhance or augment the digital and physical realities of people. Moreover, activities that currently take place in siloed environments will eventually take place in a single Metaverse, such as:
Purchasing outfits and accessories for online avatars
Buying digital land and constructing virtual homes
Participating in a virtual social experience
Shopping in virtual malls via immersive commerce
Using virtual classrooms to experience immersive learning
Buying digital art, collectibles and assets (NFTs)
Interacting with digital humans for onboarding employees, customer service, sales and other business interactions
Elements of a Metaverse
Gartner is a technology research and consulting company. It described the elements of a Metaverse in the below diagram.
Gartner expects that by 2026, 25% of people will spend at least one hour a day in the Metaverse for work, shopping, education, social media and/or entertainment.
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. It provides a set of algorithms and techniques for creating computer programs that can automatically improve their performance on specific tasks.
Content marketing is one of the most popular industries where machine learning can be applied. Machine learning is playing a significant role in content marketing because it helps marketers understand what consumers want to read and what they don’t. It also helps marketers create content that will be more likely to generate conversions and increase their return on investment.
Content marketers use machine learning to create better content and optimize their marketing campaigns. One way they do this is by using sentiment analysis to understand what kind of moods people might be in, while reading their content. This helps them write more engaging copy for their audience. Another way for marketers to use machine learning is by utilizing predictive analytics to predict what people will want to read based on the time of day or day of the week. This helps them make sure they have relevant content available at all times for their audience.
Machine learning is the way of the future. It will help create content that is relevant to the audience and that will resonate with them.

Retailers, along with used product resellers, non-profits, thrifters and liquidators, want to capitalize on this thriving reCommerce market to cut the billions of dollars going to waste. AI and machine learning has become the answer. Here are the key ways AI is enabling the reCommerce industry to scale.
Attribute Identification.
Using AI and machine vision, resellers are able to quickly take what was once a very manual process of identifying and assigning product attributes and automate this identification process. Product characteristics such as color, style and even brand can be quickly assessed, automatically, using simple photographs. This can cut hundreds of hours off product processing when used for large batches of items, such as returns, donations and overstocks.
Product Valuation.
Returned, donated and used items typically don’t have designated tags or SKUs that can identify the value or assign a price. Using AI technology, identified attributes can be used to scour data sets across resale markets to properly identify current item value and set a market price. This too takes hours off of the traditionally manual product pricing process and is very effective at optimizing resale revenue.
Marketplace Listing Automation.
Product marketplaces from Poshmark, threadUP and The RealReal to eBay, OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace all require specific adjustments and characterizations to effectively list on their sites. AI technology and automation is being used to produce fully compliant, SEO optimized listings for each marketplace so that products are showcased effectively, no matter where they are being sold.
Empowering Listing Volume.
Listing products for resale is a numbers game. And with so much product volume to move, retailers specifically need to optimize their listing abilities to recoup lost profits from returned goods. AI empowers scalability and incredible volume, enabling sellers to move from a 5,000-item turn a month to exponentially increase overnight.
Lowers Labor Costs.
The cost of human labor has been the number one barrier to increasing reCommerce scale. Through AI and machine vision technology, resellers are closing the labor gap and optimizing profitability without the costs, challenge and difficulty of recruiting workers or shipping product offshore to perform processing. This further reduces costs and enhances rapid growth through product processing scale.
