Doctrina: Blockchain 5.0 for Artificial Intelligence
Source abstract
Abstract
The convergence of blockchain technology with artificial intelligence presents a promising paradigm shift in data management and trust within AI ecosystems. Starting from the initial cryptocurrency-oriented versions, the blockchain potential is improved up to the highly scalable and programmable versions available currently. Even though the integration of real-world applications offers a promising future for distributed computing, there are limitations on executing AI models on blockchain due to high external library dependencies, storage, and cost constraints. Addressing this issue, this study explores the transformative potential of integrating blockchain with AI within the paradigm of blockchain 5.0. We propose the next-generation novel blockchain architecture named Doctrina that allows executing AI models directly on blockchain. Compared to the existing approaches, Doctrina allows sharing and using AI services in a fully distributed and privacy-preserved manner.
