Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain in the Metaverse

The Metaverse emerges as a completely virtual reality offering diverse possibilities through the immersive use of technology. Currently, artificial intelligence and blockchain have proven to be highly valuable in the ongoing technological revolution, with artificial intelligence providing automation, personalization, prediction and numerous other functionalities, and blockchain ensuring security through decentralization. Therefore, analyzing the integration of these two technologies within the Metaverse is crucial to understanding how they can be applied together effectively. However, there is a shortage of academic studies that address both artificial intelligence and blockchain within the Metaverse, indicating a significant gap in the literature. To address this issue, we conducted a systematic review covering publications from 2019 to 2023 in the IEEE Xplore, Scopus, and ACM databases. Our findings aim to fill this gap by providing insights into the current state of research, highlighting areas for future study and discussing how it can be applied to improving security and data in the Internet of Things.
