As AI and NLP technologies are increasingly used to analyze financial data, privacy concerns become more pressing. Several AI startups are developing tools related to blockchain analytics, such as Blocktrace, Arkham, and Nansen. Blocktrace has created an AI chatbot called Robby the Robot that interacts with Bitcoin blockchain data, enabling users to engage with a virtual assistant-like feature. However, this public accessibility of these services puts users’ personal information at risk. The rise of AI has also spurred a surge in interest in AI-centric cryptocurrency projects, such as The Graph, Numerai, Fetch.ai, SingularityNet, and Vectorspace AI.
