Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The convergence of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) is unlocking new possibilities across various domains, such as finance, healthcare, education, and security. Blockchain’s decentralized and immutable nature provides a secure and transparent foundation for AI-driven systems, while AI enhances blockchain performance and enriches decentralized ecosystems such as Web3. This Special Issue explores cutting-edge research in decentralized intelligence that leverages the mutual enhancement of blockchain and AI. We invite original contributions that present novel theoretical frameworks, innovative applications, and interdisciplinary perspectives while pushing the boundaries of decentralized intelligence. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, blockchain for AI, AI for blockchain, and intelligent blockchain applications. Particularly, we seek innovative solutions to key challenges, such as decentralized learning, autonomous AI agents, decentralized identity for AI, intelligent smart contract auditing, and AI-driven decentralized finance. By bringing together high-quality submissions from academia and industry, this Special Issue aims to foster discussions and collaborations on the future trajectory of decentralized intelligence.
