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 Jules 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 Contracts
- Oracle x LLM convergence
- Preventing malicious intents through oracle systems
- AI x crypto use cases
- DAOs
- Entropy in voting behaviours
- Dark DAOs
- TEEs & private smart contracts
- MEV & proofs of transaction ordering
- Future blockchain research

We were joined by Ari Jules, chief scientist at Chainlink, to discuss the synergies between blockchains & large language models, as well as the crucial role of oracles for bringing LLM output on-chain
