Advance Internet Safety Through Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain

The digital landscape continues to evolve; ensuring robust internet safety has become a critical challenge in the face of growing cyber threats. This chapter delves into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology in reinforcing cybersecurity measures. AI's ability to analyze large-scale data, identify patterns, and predict potential vulnerabilities makes it an invaluable tool in enhancing security protocols. When combined with blockchain's decentralized and immutable nature, which secures data by providing an incorruptible ledger, these technologies collectively offer an advanced framework for real-time threat detection and mitigation. The chapter explores several key applications, including decentralized identity management, cyber fraud detection, and privacy protection, illustrating how the fusion of AI and blockchain can help address significant security concerns such as data breaches, identity theft, and unauthorized access. However, the integration of AI and blockchain into cybersecurity systems is not without challenges. Issues such as scalability, energy efficiency, and the technical complexity of merging these technologies in practical settings remain obstacles. Despite these hurdles, significant advancements in blockchain protocols, such as sharding and AI-based optimization algorithms, show promise in overcoming these limitations through case studies and recent developments; this chapter demonstrates how AI and blockchain can work together to create a more secure, resilient, and transparent digital environment. This chapter is merely focused on the various technology aspects to secure date through various AI and blockchain techniques.
