Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the key technologies transforming our lives, while the transfer of knowledge and competencies from the academic sphere to the industry and real-world use cases are accelerating yearly. However, during that transition, several significant problems and questions need to be addressed for the field to develop ethically, such as digital privacy, ownership, and control. These are some of the reasons why the currently most popular approaches of artificial intelligence, i.e., centralized artificial intelligence (CEAI), are questionable, with other directions also being explored widely, such as decentralized artificial intelligence (DEAI), which aim to solve some of the most far-reaching problems. This paper aims to review and organize the knowledge in the field of DEAI, focusing solely on studies that fall within this category. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using six scientific databases and additional gray literature to analyze and present the findings of 71 identified studies. The paper’s primary focus is identifying the building blocks of DEAI solutions and networks, tackling the DEAI analysis from a bottom-up approach. Future research directions and open problems are presented and proposed at the end.

分散式人工智能构建模块综述

人工智能（AI）是改变我们生活的关键技术之一，而知识和能力从学术领域向工业和现实世界用例的转移每年都在加速。然而，在过渡期间，需要解决几个重要的问题和问题，以便该领域在道德上发展，例如数字隐私，所有权和控制。这就是为什么目前最流行的人工智能方法，即集中式人工智能（CEAI）存在问题的一些原因，其他方向也在广泛探索，例如分散的人工智能（DEAI），其目的是解决一些最深远的问题。本文旨在对DEAI领域的知识进行回顾和整理，重点关注属于这一范畴的研究。系统文献综述（SLR）使用6个科学数据库和额外的灰色文献来分析和呈现71项确定的研究结果。本文的主要重点是确定DEAI解决方案和网络的构建块，从自下而上的方法处理DEAI分析。最后提出了今后的研究方向和有待解决的问题。
