Strengthening the Security of Smart Contracts through the Power of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Smart contracts (SCs) are digital agreements that execute themselves and are stored on a blockchain. Despite the fact that they offer numerous advantages, such as automation and transparency, they are susceptible to a variety of assaults due to their complexity and lack of standardization. In this paper, we investigate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve SC security. We provide an overview of Smart Contracts (SCs) and blockchain technology, as well as a discussion of possible SC-based attacks. Then, we introduce various AI categories and their applications in cybersecurity, followed by a thorough analysis of how AI can be used to enhance SC security. We also highlight the open questions and future directions of research in this field. Our research demonstrates that AI can provide an effective defense against assaults on SCs and contribute to their security and dependability. This article lays the groundwork for future research in the field of AI for SC security.
