The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven blockchain analytics has increased the urgency of addressing privacy concerns. AI-startups such as Blocktrace, Arkham, and Nansen are developing blockchain analytics tools - with the AI chatbot, Robby the Robot, being a disruptive example. It enables users to ask questions in natural language and get answers based on Bitcoin blockchain data. However, while these startups simplify the tracking and analysis of blockchain transactions, the easy accessibility of these services also elevates the risk of exposing user information.

Shielded transactions should be prioritized to prevent the breach of personal information. For example, the case of Venmo transactions showed the threat of public searchability due to AI. In the meantime, the utilization of AI-secured cryptocurrency projects such as The Graph, Numerai, Fetch.ai, Singularitynet, and Vectorspace AI has been intensified in the year 2023, which witnesses a massive recognition of the viability of the collaborative efforts between AI and blockchain technologies.

However, this view is not without risk, and therefore the crypto community must emphasize reliable standards to keep a secure storage of user data in this highly interconnected digital world. As exemplified by ChatGPT, an AI-driven generative tool, the population should be cautious and remain in control of their own digital safety.

What’s more, the increase of blockchain analytics startups applying AI technology has caused a sense of alarm among the crypto space when it comes to the preservation of personal data privacy. Thus, users should make use of shielded transactions such as Zcash and Monero to establish a secure environment while still keeping the level of transparency and accountability fairly high.

Developers and policymakers must keep a close watch on the implications of AI-oriented analytics tools on privacy in order to create a robust and privacy-centric crypto ecosystem. Certainly, privacy tools are essential for users’ safety and must be emphasized to avoid any dangerous consequences.
