Integrating Blockchain With AI

Abstract

The advancement in AI and blockchain can fundamentally reshape our way of working, learning, and almost our way of living. Though the research in both areas helps us in advancing our knowledge, it is even more advantageous by converging concepts of blockchain and AI (i.e., developing the thinking through blockchain). Blockchain is decentralized, distributed, and often a public system. Thinking, fundamentally defined as rationally concluding something, with a few known premises, is the fundamental concept behind AI and implementing the AI to become as close to human intelligence as possible; therefore, improvements in thinking are always welcomed. Both being incomplete, AI suffers from issues with trustworthiness, explainability, and privacy, while blockchain suffers in case of security, scalability, and efficiency. Bringing these two together can complement each other and make the system efficient. The chapter deals with various uses of integrating blockchain with AI. It also gives a brief on the uses of blockchain for improving both human and machine thinking.
