Role of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain on Cyber Security: A PRISMA-Compliant Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

This chapter explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies in enhancing cybersecurity through a PRISMA-compliant systematic literature review. It reviews key studies, highlighting various AI techniques such as expert systems, neural networks, and machine learning algorithms used for intrusion detection, malware monitoring, and decision support. The advantages of AI, including early intrusion prevention and enhanced decision-making, are discussed alongside challenges like bias and security threats. Additionally, the role of blockchain in securing IoT, data privacy, and network security is examined. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the promising future of AI and blockchain in defending against sophisticated cyber threats while acknowledging the need for broader research and policy frameworks.
