Abstract
The intersection of crypto and AI is spawning papers, products, online posts, and companies. However, the surrounding buzz obscures what has been done, what opportunities and challenges exist, and what open questions deserve attention. This survey investigates what AI can do for blockchain-based technologies (broadly referred to as 'crypto') (crypto x AI), and vice versa (AI x crypto).
We systematize existing work, summarize key takeaways, highlight open research questions, and offer a perspective on pervasive industry misconceptions, concluding that AI and crypto are still in the very early stages of meaningful integration.
Blogger's Review: This research provides a clear perspective on the intersection of blockchain and AI, revealing current industry misconceptions and future research directions. Despite the immense potential for integration, practical applications still require further exploration and validation.
