Converging for Security: Blockchain, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence - Why Not Together?

Blockchain, renowned for its decentralized and secure nature, and Artificial Intelligence, the pinnacle of machine intelligence, stand as pillars of innovation. However, despite the recognition of their few successful collaborations, the interrelation among these triumvirates - Internet-of-Things (IoT), Blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) - still remains relatively unexplored terrain. Issues arise regarding their synergy: the challenges of integration, the potential improvements in existing technologies, and the careful consideration required before their unification. While evidence suggests their individual prowess, understanding their convergence and the implications thereof is crucial for shaping a technologically robust future. This paper delves into the complex interplay between IoT, Blockchain, and AI, navigating their relationship and exploring opportunities for enhancement. In addition, this paper will also look into several challenges and complexities hindering seamless integration.
