Ari Juels: Can AI Weaponize Blockchain Smart Contracts? - Chainlink

A smart contract’s rigid rule system represents a double-edged sword. ‘The Code is Law’, but what happens when rogue large language models or AI agents bend the Law? Can smart contracts be weaponised to serve a criminal agenda? In his ‘Oracle’ novel, Ari Juels explores this thesis and issues an eery warning regarding the blockchain x AI intersection. In this imminent future, oracles play a crucial role, allowing LLMs to push data on-chain or smart contracts to pull off-chain data.Topics covered in this episode:Criminal Smart ContractsOracle x LLM convergencePreventing malicious intents through oracle systemsAI x crypto use casesDAOsEntropy in voting behavioursDark DAOsTEEs & private smart contractsMEV & proofs of transaction orderingFuture blockchain researchEpisode links:Ari Juels on Twitter'The Oracle: A Novel' by Ari JuelsChainlink on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
