AI-Infused Blockchain Technology for Thrust Applications

Abstract

Blockchain technology is a collective, distributed, and unalterable ledger (i.e. block of data), which is linked securely. The blocks are connected and form a chain in which each block contains information about its previous block. In this chapter, the influence of artificial intelligence on blockchain technology is discussed elaborately in different areas like healthcare, agriculture, IoT, and so on. The various optimization algorithms used to enhance performance are also discussed and recorded. The open research issues and challenges, along with the future directions to be concentrated on in the blockchain network, are deeply analyzed and presented.
