Towards an Enterprise-Ready Implementation of Artificial Intelligence-Enabled, Blockchain-Based Smart Contracts

Abstract: Blockchain technology and AI are current hot topics in research and practice. However, the potentials of their combination have been studied just recently to a larger extend. While different use cases for combining AI and blockchain have been discussed, the idea of enabling blockchain-based smart contracts to perform "smarter" decisions by using AI or ML models has only been considered on the conceptual level so far. It remained open, how such AI-enabled smart contracts could be implemented in a robust way for real-world applications. Therefore, in this paper a new, enterprise-class implementation of AI-enabled smart contracts is presented and first insights regarding its feasibility are discussed.
