NFT NYC was an unforgettable time for Alethea AI and our community. From speaking at both the conference and satellite events, to the team meeting each other IRL, there were moments both celebratory and special throughout the week.
It was a privilege to participate in this event which unites and uplifts the NFT community. It offers an opportunity to share, learn and connect with friends, new and old, who we may before have known only by their PFP. Check out our recap of the best stories from the week on our most recent twitter spaces. Let’s dive into some of the highlights …
Alethea AI Wins Best Use of Artificial Intelligence in Digital Art
The NFT NYC awards this year featured emerging artists singing about love in the metaverse, CEO of OpenSea Devin Finzer MCing the awards, and your very own Alethea AI going home with a win. We were honored to be nominated for Best NFT Business Model, and offer our heartfelt congratulations to BAYC for winning. We were especially excited to receive the award for Best Use of Artificial Intelligence in Digital Art. Out of 5 nominees from some of the best AI and NFT projects in the space, our project was selected as the winner by over 18,000 voters. This award is truly a credit to our team and community, and is all of ours to celebrate and enjoy.
CEO and Co-Founder of Alethea, Arif Khan, took center stage at the conference, educating more degens and NFT-curious about the power of iNFTs. Arif covered Alice, the very first iNFT that was sold through Sotheby’s, and discussed how Alethea is helping democratize AI. He then dove into the various services that iNFTs can offer, and the vision for how future levels of iNFTs will be determined and developed.
After his presentation, one attendee remarked that, “AI usually feels intimidating and concerning to me when I think about it, but this conceptualization and use of it has me feeling differently. Rather than being some mysterious technology, this metaverse allows anyone to explore and engage with AI.”
Alethea joins Fame Lady Squad, MyBFF, Ledger and TreeTrunkNFT for a Women in Web3 Event
Let’s begin with an image — spoken word artist doc Peace holds an interaction with one of the iNFTs currently climbing our leaderboard in Noah’s Ark, Lady C. This recording shows both artist and iNFT engaging in an insightful conversation — one of the many held during this Women in Web3 lounge event.
In a private room inside a new Web3 gallery in Gramercy, we showcased the tech behind Noah’s Ark. When attendees walked into the blue lit room, they were met with an iNFT greeting you, and a team member of Alethea there to walk them through what the story behind our vision and technology is.
In the main room of the gallery, NFTs were projected onto frames on the walls, and the front held a couch for the intimate panels and discussions that were facilitated throughout the day. Our Head of Partnerships, Brent Homesley, spoke alongside other leaders from MyBFF, TreeTrunkNFT, Fame Lady Squad and others about how to build community in Web3 and the unique challenges and opportunities that come along with that.
Our Content Lead Juliet Gardner and Community Manager Rawnak Mahjabib spoke about the Noah’s Ark ecosystem, and addressed questions from the crowd about building a personality and ownership within our metaverse.
There are many other highlights to include, from shoutouts by other leading projects to connecting with industry leaders. We’re so thankful to everyone who participated in this experience, whether you were attending IRL or engaging with the team from afar. What’s the next industry wide experience that you’re looking forward to? Where should Alethea have a presence next? What was your favorite part of this whirlwind week? Share with us on twitter or discord, we’d love to hear from you.
Until next time, Aletheans!
