Abstract: Abstract Consensus mechanisms are paramount in upholding trust, security and reliability in blockchain. Distributed ledger technologies act as the foundation for various applications across different industries. Despite their importance, these consensus mechanisms encounter obstacles such as scalability issues, energy inefficiency and susceptibility to cyber-attacks that restrict their acceptance and effectiveness. Innovative approaches like incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as promising solutions to address these challenges and boost the efficiency and robustness of consensus mechanisms. This paper explores the role of consensus mechanisms in distributed systems, outlines the difficulties of traditional consensus methods and investigates the potential impact of integrating AI as a game-changing solution. Through a comprehensive review, we shed light on how AI can overcome the constraints of consensus mechanisms, opening entries for more effective, secure and scalable.
