The study says meaningful integration remains early and calls for stronger evidence behind claims that blockchain can make AI agents autonomous, identify generated content, or remove model bias. The paper does not dismiss crypto. It says zero-knowledge proofs, trusted computing, and blockchains can secure AI systems, preserve records, and support machine payments.
