Abstract

Blockchain applications have adopted various techniques over the past decade, and one revolutionary approach has been the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). They had crucial roles in the transparency and security of e-Governance applications. In this paper, the interrelated impacts of AI techniques in enhancing Blockchain applications are illustrated to ensure transparent and secure e-Governance services against forgery and intrusion. By reviewing available articles, this paper discusses the role and capabilities of AI in influencing and manipulating large volumes of data related to Blockchains, which build stubborn, robust, and stable e-governance. The conclusions of this paper reveal that adopting AI techniques in Blockchain applications significantly enhances security and transparency by enabling simultaneous detection of system abnormalities. Concluded outcomes highlight major expectations for Blockchain AI Combination (BAIC) techniques to enhance e-government frameworks and financial transactions, emphasizing their potential to support global achievements by promoting greater transparency and security in economic environments. In this review, deeper and broader research into the scalability of Blockchain combined with AI techniques is proposed to address various aspects of e-governance.
