On-Chain AI / ML

Running AI/ML inference directly within blockchain smart contracts or verified through on-chain proofs. Current limitations: compute budgets on blockchains are tiny compared to AI needs. Approaches include: off-chain inference with on-chain verification (ZK proofs of inference), optimistic verification, and simplified models (decision trees, linear models) that fit within compute limits.
