The intersection of crypto x AI is spawning papers, products, online posts, and companies. All the surrounding buzz, though, obscures what exactly has been done, what the opportunities and challenges are, and what open questions deserve attention. This survey paper asks what AI can do for blockchain-based technologies (broadly construed as "crypto") (crypto x AI), and vice versa (AI x crypto). We systematize existing work, summarize key takeaways, highlight open research questions, and offer a perspective on pervasive industry misconceptions, concluding that AI and crypto are still in the very early stages of meaningful integration.

翻译：加密技术与人工智能的交叉领域正催生出大量论文、产品、网络帖子和公司。然而，围绕这一领域的热议掩盖了已取得的实际进展、机遇与挑战，以及值得关注的研究空白。本综述论文探究人工智能能为基于区块链的技术（广义上称为“加密”）带来什么（加密×人工智能），反之亦然（人工智能×加密）。我们系统梳理现有研究，总结核心观点，突出待解决的研究问题，并对行业内普遍存在的误解提出见解，最终得出结论：人工智能与加密技术仍处于实质性融合的非常早期阶段。
