Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain are two major technologies that emphasize the break through innovations in various industries. Every technology has its own benefits in spite of its technical complexity for building advanced business applications. Combination of AI and blockchain has led to the restructuring of architectural changes to meet the present industrial demands of globalized financial markets, Internet of things, intelligent business data models and smart medical applications. Alliance of AI and blockchain technologies give rise to decentralized AI which enables machines to understand and take decisions on reliable and secured data independently by avoiding the involvement of any intermediaries in the course of action. In this paper, we review the intersection junctures, benefits and support provided by AI and blockchain. We also shed light on tools and latest technologies that has emerged as a result of intersection between these two technologies.
