How Can Blockchain Developers Use AI?

Validated Venture

Main Takeaways

  • Artificial intelligence can help automate tedious tasks. 
  • Developers can use AI in many ways, from writing blockchain code to debugging protocols.
  • Learn how developers can leverage the technology to build blockchains faster and more efficiently.

Explore the relationship between artificial intelligence software and blockchain technology.

We asked an artificial intelligence bot – ChatGPT – if it could build a blockchain. Here’s what it said:

“Can ChatGPT build a blockchain? Yes, ChatGPT can build a blockchain. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that can be used to record transactions in a secure and immutable manner. ChatGPT can be used to build a blockchain-based application that can apply the principles of blockchain technology to enable secure transactions and data sharing.”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that enables machines and software to mimic human intelligence. Analyzing data, solving complex problems, and making decisions are some of the things AI-powered systems can do with limited human input.

With the advancement of technology, AI bots and systems are being tested by companies worldwide, including Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Meta. Thanks to its enormous potential to disrupt industries, AI has become increasingly important in numerous fields, such as healthcare, automotive, finance, and, most recently, blockchain.

Before delving into how AI can be a powerful tool for blockchain developers, let's explore two fundamental properties of blockchain that enable AI to enhance its utility.

The Relationship Between AI and Blockchain

Open-source

One of the fundamental tenets of blockchain technology is its collaborative nature. Much of the blockchain’s code and underlying protocols are publicly available and can be freely modified and distributed by anyone – or anything. AI developers can use open-source resources to improve how a blockchain works or even build a new one from scratch.

Vast amounts of data

As the industry works towards building a future, it’s no surprise that blockchain will involve more data collection and storage. Data like network configuration, device setup, traffic data, user behavior, and security logs can be helpful in creating more efficient networks and identifying patterns of vulnerability. AI can rapidly analyze this data far more efficiently than humans, drawing insights to help developers better understand the current state of their blockchain.

How Can AI Simplify Work?

Data and market analysis

Before building a blockchain, developers must determine what features the blockchain should offer. To do so, they must identify user needs and demands.

Developers can use AI to mine large amounts of data from various sources, analyze data rapidly, and identify or predict trends and user needs. This saves developers time, allowing them to focus on designing the blockchain. This could include determining what features to integrate, designing a logically-sound incentive structure, deciding on the consensus mechanism, and planning the feature roadmap more strategically.

Developing smart contracts

Smart contracts are the building blocks of blockchain systems. They are lines of code running on top of the blockchain, providing the means to facilitate transactions and further use cases like wallet development.

AI bots can help developers write code to define the smart contract’s rules, logic, and operations. They can also help deploy the code efficiently to the blockchain and test the code to ensure that blockchain functions work seamlessly.

Finding errors and predicting bugs

With complex technology like blockchain, manually finding and eradicating bugs in a system can be time-consuming and expensive. AI bots can be programmed to create and run tests to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the code, debug simple errors it may find, and even monitor and record bugs in the system via data analysis.

Sophisticated AI systems could even analyze the code and simulate different scenarios to test the functionality of a blockchain or smart contract. Bugs can be predicted and potential issues fixed before the code is deployed on the blockchain, ensuring a better user experience.

It’s far more efficient to automate data analysis through AI. Bots can help developers analyze complex code for errors, potential bugs, and vulnerabilities, even when off the clock.

Optimizing the blockchain

Once a blockchain is up and running, AI can optimize the blockchain by using machine learning to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. For instance, advanced AI software can analyze blockchain data to identify areas for improvement, such as scalability, cost-efficiency, and security. It could also improve transaction accuracy for more secure transactions and develop smart contracts to automate processes with greater accuracy and speed.

Developers can also use the technology to mine data so as to order to optimize code.

Other potential uses of AI

If an AI could help build a blockchain, then with the proper training from its developer, it could also assist in wallet development and the creation of decentralized apps (DApps).

Apart from smart contracts, they could also be used to create identity management solutions, automate Know Your Customer (KYC) processes, and analyze data to predict fraudulent behavior on the blockchain.

Limitations of AI

With artificial intelligence promising to simplify and speed up the process of blockchain-building, what’s stopping AI developers from taking over the role of human developers? For one, AI software still largely depends on human developers for decision-making.

While AI bots can help speed up the process of developing and refining a blockchain, they are not yet capable of making decisions or interpreting the commercial value of blockchain features.

AI bots may become proficient coders, but they are still at a place where human developers must improve the programs via deep learning training, feeding AI tools the necessary data to refine them and determining which features to keep or develop.

Conclusion

Developers can work more efficiently with AI during the ideation, coding, deployment, and even optimization phases of blockchain building. However, AI bots are still not fully autonomous and may not ever be.

In the near future, developers will likely use AI-powered tools and software to enhance productivity. This could lead to a shift in how developers approach their work, focusing more on conceptual design while letting AI handle the execution of the program. As AI and blockchain technology develop, the evolution of our work practices alongside these will continue to impact numerous industries.

  • LeCun et al. Propose H-JEPA Hierarchical World Model for End-to-End Learning in Visual Planning

    On October 12, according to an arXiv paper, researchers Wancong Zhang, Basile Terver, Michael Rabbat, Yann LeCun, and Randall Balestriero proposed H-JEPA, an end-to-end training scheme for a hierarchical action-conditioned JEPA world model, where each layer predicts further into the future within its learned latent space. Planning is conducted top-down: the top layer optimizes the goal, and each layer's predictions become sub-goals for the layer below. When factors in the data evolve at separate time scales, higher layers discard rapid, unpredictable details while retaining slower, task-relevant states. In four simulated navigation and manipulation environments, hierarchical planning outperformed flat JEPA; in the Visual AntMaze task, a three-layer structure increased the success rate from 18% to 73%, while requiring less computational power for planning. Ablation experiments indicate that the gains come from both temporal decomposition and high-level goal representation. Under inverse dynamics supervision, this method can be scaled to real robot videos in DROID.

  • Yixin Issues Apology: May Be Insolvent

    On October 12, Yixin Group published an "Apology Letter to Clients of Fixed-Income-Like Products" on its subsidiaries Ruicheng and Yirenyouxuan App. Yixin Group stated that due to the contraction of its inclusive finance and wealth management business scale and poor earnings, it has decided to completely stop the redemption of fixed-income-like products by May 22, 2026, and will strive to fairly compensate all investors through orderly exit. However, due to significant losses in multiple business areas, coupled with low asset values in market-based disposals and a lack of effective funding sources, the fixed-income-like products have effectively defaulted, for which the company sincerely apologizes to its clients. The letter indicated that after halting the redemption of fixed-income-like products, Yixin Group systematically reviewed the status of various businesses and promptly commissioned third-party institutions to conduct asset verification and financial due diligence. Preliminary findings suggest that Yixin Group may be insolvent, with a significant debt gap. The underlying assets corresponding to the unpaid fixed-income-like products are of poor quality, and efforts to seek market-based overall disposal have been unsuccessful. Legal due diligence institutions stated that they could not independently investigate the compliance of fixed-income-like products based on the transaction channels and models provided by the group. Yixin Group stated that it will further clarify its asset and liability situation, continue to stabilize its lending and other licensed businesses, make every effort to accelerate the recovery of non-performing loans, expedite the disposal and monetization of valuable assets, and communicate sincerely with clients of fixed-income-like products to resolve risks in accordance with laws and regulations, aiming for fair compensation for investors.

  • IMF Warns: AI May Have Disruptive Effects on Employment and Tax Systems

    On October 12, IMF President Kristalina Georgieva warned that AI is having disruptive effects on the labor market and tax systems, and policymakers need to rethink the education system and take immediate action to help society adapt to these changes. Georgieva stated during her debut at the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok on Monday, "This is a slowly moving tsunami, but it is still a tsunami." In a session discussing the impact of AI on employment, she noted that AI has weakened demand for certain human workers by replacing a large number of repetitive, procedural jobs; at the same time, it is driving an increase in low-wage positions in industries such as construction, which she believes is "not something to celebrate." Georgieva indicated that this transformation will have profound implications for public finances, with the risk that AI may shift the economy from labor to capital, thereby undermining government tax revenues, as labor income has traditionally been a significant basis for taxation.
