ITU-T Recommendations

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of core essential driving forces of a new round of industrial reform, which can affect promoting the upgrading of the traditional industries. Blockchain presents opportunities for disruptive innovations, which enables global businesses to transact business with less friction and more trust. AI and blockchain promote and influence each other, and their convergence could provide major driving forces for industries and great creativity across a wide range of business applications in many fields. There are many benefits and challenges to combining AI and blockchain together. This Supplement focuses on the research on the convergence of AI and blockchain, specifically analyses the mutual promotion between AI and blockchain, and provides a technical reference for the application of AI and blockchain. In addition, Supplement 4 to ITU-T F-series Recommendations also provides application analysis of the convergence of AI and blockchain.
