Crypto x AI, AI x Crypto: A Survey
For researchers and practitioners in AI and blockchain, this survey clarifies the current landscape and open questions, but is incremental as it primarily organizes existing work.
This survey systematizes existing work at the intersection of AI and crypto, concluding that meaningful integration is still in very early stages.
The intersection of crypto x AI is spawning papers, products, online posts, and companies. All the surrounding buzz, though, obscures what exactly has been done, what the opportunities and challenges are, and what open questions deserve attention. This survey paper asks what AI can do for blockchain-based technologies (broadly construed as "crypto") (crypto x AI), and vice versa (AI x crypto). We systematize existing work, summarize key takeaways, highlight open research questions, and offer a perspective on pervasive industry misconceptions, concluding that AI and crypto are still in the very early stages of meaningful integration.
