The FIFA AI League is the next evolution of online games, where street footballer has their own AI and can compete against other AI players.
It's free to predict matches during the FIFA World Cup. Once the tournament ends, one can create a team of AI All-Stars and then pay a one-off fee to access and compete in the AI League mobile game.
AI All-Stars take the idea of digital collectibles to another dimension. Fully customised, unique, and securely stored, these AI-powered characters can be owned, trained, and traded.
A team of four digital collectibles are created and stored on a blockchain technology, which functions a bit like a highly secure shared database. The clever bit about a blockchain is that everyone can read it and confirm which collectibles you own, but only certain people can make changes - so it's both shared and secure.
AI All-Stars are special players one can use in the Metaverse game, the AI League. They're collectible 3D characters that one can own and train to become street football icons. The AI-powered players can be unlocked when the game launches after the tournament ends.
