Web3 needs to be more human and emotional AI is the answer
Web3s steep learning curve and poor user experience hinder its adoption Emotional AI enables intuitive interfaces that guide users seamlessly
Opinion by: Max Giammario, founder and CEO of Kindred
Web3’s interfaces and user experience are often criticized as terrible compared to Web2 tools, discouraging widespread adoption. The steep learning curve—especially for first-time users interacting with Web3 wallets—creates fear of mistakes leading to financial loss. Emotional AI is proposed as a solution to bridge this gap by offering intuitive, empathetic guidance.
The Problem: Web3’s Steep Learning Curve
- New users face scary, difficult experiences, such as managing crypto wallets.
- Fear of irreversible errors (e.g., losing funds) deters adoption.
- Emotional AI could act as a personalized assistant, easing onboarding.
How Emotional AI Can Help
- Guiding New Users: AI companions could provide step-by-step support, reducing anxiety.
- Autonomous Interaction: Acting as personal assistants in DeFi platforms, AI could streamline complex processes.
- Motivational Coaching: AI could offer empathic guidance, helping users avoid costly mistakes.
Risks of Emotional AI in Web3
- Data Privacy Concerns: Emotional AI requires extensive user data, increasing leak risks.
- Overdependence: Users might develop unhealthy reliance on AI companions.
- Bias: Personalized AI could reinforce echo chambers, limiting exposure to diverse information.
Future Potential
Despite risks, emotional AI could revolutionize Web3 by:
- Simplifying onboarding for non-technical users.
- Boosting adoption to Web2-like levels.
- Enabling autonomous tools, like AI-driven Web3 games.
Final Thought: While challenges exist, the synergy of emotional AI and Web3 could unlock mass adoption—if developers mitigate risks like privacy and bias.
