Empowering Blockchain Using AI
"Combining trust and intelligence for a better internet era"

This chapter explores multiple approaches and design patterns that are used to elevate the quality of blockchain solutions by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) models and techniques. You will see how AI is applied along with blockchain across multiple verticals. Also, you will be able to identify white spaces, address them with guided approaches, and design solutions by using blockchain and AI. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • The benefits of combining blockchain and AI
  • About Aicumen Technologies
  • Combining blockchain and AI in pandemic management
  • Combining blockchain and AI in social finance
  • Combining blockchain and AI to humanize digital interactions
  • The democratization of AI with decentralization

The benefits of combining blockchain and AI

Simply put, the business benefit of using AI is the reduction of costs, and the business benefit of using blockchain is that transparency is enabled in processes. When both technologies are used together, you can apply a new class of solutions to a wide variety of problems in today's world that lack transparency and cost efficiency. In the following sections, we will observe products and solutions that use blockchain and AI together to solve real-world challenges. I would consider the following products and solutions the first generation of applications that use both technologies; there's probably more to come in the next wave of digital transformation.
