- Google sees AI as a key component for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- The company will award a $25 million grant to 15 AI-based projects.
- Integration of artificial intelligence into the crypto space is growing, and Shiba Memu is one of the new projects aiming to use advanced technologies to build a self-sustaining marketing ecosystem.
Global tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia have recently placed major bets on artificial intelligence (AI). Google has now announced a $25 million grant that will be distributed across 15 AI-driven projects.
At the same time, investors across the crypto market have been actively participating in the Shiba Memu presale, drawn by the project’s promise of AI-powered features and its potential in marketing and community growth.
The role of AI in global development
Through its philanthropic arm Google.org, Google supports a wide range of nonprofit initiatives addressing global pollution, food security and health. In a news report published on Tuesday, Google.org said it will fund 15 AI projects in those sectors over the next three years.
Among the beneficiaries are Kenyan organization Jacaranda Health, South African data analytics platform IDinsight, Indian group Wadhwani AI and the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines.
These projects align with Google’s vision for AI as a tool to advance the Sustainable Development Goals, and the funding highlights how AI is increasingly being applied across many areas of life. That trend also extends to cryptocurrency, where platforms, researchers and developers are turning to AI for real-time market monitoring, fraud and security detection, and identifying attractive investment opportunities.
What AI integration means for Shiba Memu
AI momentum is only growing, with companies like Nvidia and Palantir offering optimistic forecasts for the sector. The same momentum can be seen in crypto, where investors are showing rising interest in promising projects such as the dog-themed Shiba Memu.
Shiba Memu is a new meme-crypto project currently running a presale of its native token, SHMU. The project has attracted attention by promising AI-driven marketing strategies designed to boost reach and engagement.
Shiba Memu’s cryptocurrency is an ERC-20 token intended to be community-owned, with a total supply of 1 billion SHMU. During the presale, 85% of the supply is available to investors; 10% will be reserved for liquidity, exchange listings and community rewards; and 5% will support platform development.
How Shiba Memu differs from Dogecoin and other meme coins
Dogecoin, launched in 2013, is the original meme cryptocurrency, inspired by a popular internet meme. Other meme tokens followed that example. However, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Pepe do not operate with built-in AI tools—Shiba Memu does. Experts say this key difference could give Shiba Memu an edge in the race among dog-themed crypto tokens.
According to the project’s whitepaper, combining AI with blockchain will enable a powerful marketing engine that can replicate the work of hundreds of marketing agencies. To that end, the team developed an AI dashboard intended to tackle a central challenge for meme coins: gaining and sustaining popularity, which typically depends on manual, human-driven hype.
Dogecoin price vs. Shiba Memu price
At present, DOGE ranks among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, with a market capitalization around $8.5 billion and a total supply of 140,986,786,383 DOGE (per CoinGecko). At the time of writing, Dogecoin traded just above $0.06. By comparison, SHMU is priced at $0.026875 during the presale, and the developers have structured the sale so the price increases incrementally every 24 hours.
