“…Fortunately, AI technologies can improve fairness and transform it into a global and comprehensive understanding, which provides a powerful guide to achieving fairness. Moreover, with the development of technology (e.g., federated learning, trusted computing, the Internet of Things, Internet of Behaviors, and encryption), most negative effects that technology brings will be eliminated in most cases [16,17].…”

With the rapid growth of the Internet, human daily life has become deeply bound to the Internet. To take advantage of massive amounts of data and information on the internet, the Web architecture is continuously being reinvented and upgraded. From the static informative characteristics of Web 1.0 to the dynamic interactive features of Web 2.0, scholars and engineers have worked hard to make the internet world more open, inclusive, and equal. Indeed, the next generation of Web evolution (i.e., Web 3.0) is already coming and shaping our lives. Web 3.0 is a decentralized Web architecture that is more intelligent and safer than before. The risks and ruin posed by monopolists or criminals will be greatly reduced by a complete reconstruction of the Internet and IT infrastructure. In a word, Web 3.0 is capable of addressing web data ownership according to distributed technology. It will optimize the internet world from the perspectives of economy, culture, and technology. Then it promotes novel content production methods, organizational structures, and economic forms. However, Web 3.0 is not mature and is now being disputed. Herein, this paper presents a comprehensive survey of Web 3.0, with a focus on current technologies, challenges, opportunities, and outlook. This article first introduces a brief overview of the history of World Wide Web as well as several differences among Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 3.0, and Web3. Then, some technical implementations of Web 3.0 are illustrated in detail. We discuss the revolution and benefits that Web 3.0 brings. Finally, we explore several challenges and issues in this promising area. CCS CONCEPTS• Computing methodologies → Web 3.0.

With the development of the metaverse, its position in cyberspace is becoming increasingly important. Due to its complexity and openness, the metaverse also faces many security threats and vulnerabilities. This paper focuses on the security vulnerability of the metaverse in cyberspace. First, the basic concepts and characteristics of the metaverse are introduced. Then, the architecture of the metaverse is hierarchically introduced, and the security vulnerability of the metaverse in cyberspace is analyzed. Furthermore, the security countermeasures of the metaverse in cyberspace are introduced. Finally, the importance of the metaverse is summarized and the corresponding security countermeasures in the future are discussed. This paper explores the security vulnerability of the metaverse in cyberspace from several technical perspectives and provides strong theoretical support and practical guidance for the development of the metaverse.

In the era of the Web of Things, the Metaverse is expected to be the landing site for the next generation of the Internet, resulting in the increased popularity of related technologies and applications in recent years and gradually becoming the focus of Internet research. The Metaverse, as a link between the real and virtual worlds, can provide users with immersive experiences. As the concept of the Metaverse grows in popularity, many scholars and developers begin to focus on the Metaverse's ethics and core. This paper argues that the Metaverse should be centered on humans. That is, humans constitute the majority of the Metaverse. As a result, we begin this paper by introducing the Metaverse's origins, characteristics, related technologies, and the concept of the human-centric Metaverse (HCM). Second, we discuss the manifestation of human-centric in the Metaverse. Finally, we discuss some current issues in the construction of HCM. In this paper, we provide a detailed review of the applications of human-centric technologies in the Metaverse, as well as the relevant HCM application scenarios. We hope that this paper can provide researchers and developers with some directions and ideas for human-centric Metaverse construction. CCS CONCEPTS• Computing methodologies → Metaverse.
