Blockchain for AI Data – State of the Art and Open Research
Erik Karger, Marvin Jagals, Frederik Ahlemann · Journal of the Association for Information Systems · 2021
Artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain are two current trend terms. Although they are mostly investigated separately, blockchain and AI benefit from each other. A blockchain, for example, supports AI through the management and sharing of data. Since AI systems are highly dependent on a large amount of high-quality training data, a blockchain can serve as a new platform to store and exchange data. Notwithstanding the blockchain’s multifaceted potential for data sharing, there is currently no comprehensive overview of this promising application. By conducting a systematic literature review, this article aims to close this research gap. This article provides an overview of the existing approaches, their functionality, as well as their intended benefits. Furthermore, risks and open research challenges are investigated.
