Blockchain and AI Synergy: The SecNet Approach to CPS Data Challenges

Cyber, physical, and social (CPS) systems have emerged as the driving force behind today's modern information society, where data is defined as the main capital. Information drives almost every technological advancement to amplify industries through artificial intelligence (AI). While data has the potential to enrich an organization, it also presents issues related to privacy, ownership, and security. There are considerable constraints on AI efficiency due to inadequate sensitive sharing frameworks, and the vulnerabilities of individuals' data are not well protected most of the time. This paper presents SecNet, which integrates blockchain and AI to provide a secure mechanism for information exchange between CPSs, thereby enhancing trust, integrity, and productivity. SecNet combines blockchain's distributed ledger with AI's data management skills to protect data and build adequate levels of trust among data users. AI decision-making strength is boosted by SecNet through the provision of high-quality and secure data input, effectiveness in operations, and minimized risks of data sharing. With the help of SecNet, sharing data in CPS systems can become a significant advancement that will stimulate further development and make industries' digital infrastructure more reliable and trustworthy.
