Capabilities of Distributed Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Abstract

Blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) are two of the most disruptive modern technologies. A blockchain is a distributed ledger capable of storing data in blocks. The data stored on a blockchain is immutable and secured with cryptography. The blockchain can guarantee data security without the involvement of a third party. The integration of it with AI to create distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) is increasingly being used in various areas of human activity. AI can increase the efficiency of blockchains by streamlining computations and processes, reducing the burden on miners and decreasing latency. The latter results in faster transactions and reduced carbon footprint of the blockchain technology. Blockchain can help develop explainable AI by means of accessing an immutable record of unstructured medical data and processes used by the system in its decision-making process. The purpose of this narrative review is to analyze the possibilities of using a decentralized AI in medicine.
