Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence: Synergies and Conflicts
This work addresses the integration challenges for researchers and practitioners in technology fields, but it is incremental as it builds on existing knowledge without introducing new methods or data.
The paper tackles the problem of understanding the relationship between blockchain and AI by analyzing major projects and developing a framework to categorize use cases, finding that real-world applications are still in early stages.
Blockchain technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have emerged as transformative forces in their respective domains. This paper explores synergies and challenges between these two technologies. Our research analyses the biggest projects combining blockchain and AI, based on market capitalization, and derives a novel framework to categorize contemporary and future use cases. Despite the theoretical compatibility, current real-world applications combining blockchain and AI remain in their infancy.
