ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A GLOBAL TREND IN DEVELOPING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

Résumé

This study aims to highlight the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing Blockchain technology or industry by analyzing the trends and growth of Blockchain applications worldwide, whether in the financial sector or in other innovative fields. The study reached several conclusions, the most important of which is that despite the decline in investments in the financial technology sector in the last two years (2022 and 2023), there is actual and expected growth in Blockchain technology on a global scale in double-digit figures (expected growth in 2024 by more than 162 billion US dollars), which demonstrates investors' confidence in this technology and its expanding uses beyond the financial and banking system. Applications of artificial intelligence have enhanced the use of this technology in various fields (educational, healthcare, video games, etc.), and its high level of security makes it support financial inclusion and provide services to underserved populations.
