According to the IT House news on October 26, Google announced that the Google Maps App will usher in a series of feature updates, including new artificial intelligence features, navigation improvements and more. It is said that the new version of Google Maps will combine AI to bring more accurate search results to users. It will also display photo results based on pictures shared by other users. For example, searching for "animal latte," "find the best animal latte art," or "take the dog to the pumpkin field" will get the most immediate priority results. Google says the results are based on billions of photos analyzed by the Google Maps community. The new feature will be available this week in France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with a gradual expansion to more countries and regions. In addition, Google is expanding its Lens capabilities (formerly known as real-time view search), which helps users locate based on their surroundings, using AR and AI to show the right path and assist users in finding the right direction. This feature will expand to more than 50 new cities later this week, including Austin, Las Vegas, Rome, São Paulo and Taipei.

According to Cointelegraph, Sandbox co-founder Sebastien Borget said during Rome Blockchain Week last week that as more of the world's population goes digital, digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs should be considered legal property. According to Borget, more than half of the world's population is now digital natives. The Metaverse may provide a new way for digital natives to connect. Governments should recognize and value the work that takes place in the Metaverse and begin to embrace the digital economy as a real economy. Borget believes that lowering the barriers to entry for creating digital content opens up new opportunities for many, while cryptocurrencies can provide payment channels in countries where “banking systems may be underdeveloped.” Additionally, Borget sees artificial intelligence (AI) as a "driver" that can empower creators and accelerate the idea generation process.
