Blockchain Infrastructure for Intelligent Cyber--Physical--Social Systems:Post-Quantum Security, Interoperability, and Trustworthy Data Economies in the Era of Embodied AI
arXiv:2606.06895v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The deployment of embodied artificial intelligence via world-model-based robotics presents a transformative opportunity for blockchain infrastructure, establishing urgent demand for trustworthy data provenance, cross-organizational governance, and incentive-compatible sharing across decentralized ecosystems. Simultaneously, quantum computing advances recognized by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics and the Turing Award threaten the cryptographic primitives securing these data economies, creating an interdependent imperative: long-lived verificatio
The convergence of embodied AI and the imminent threat of quantum computing advances, highlighted by recent Nobel and Turing recognition, creates an urgent need for secure and trustworthy blockchain infrastructure.
This item outlines critical requirements for the secure and interoperable deployment of advanced AI systems, impacting data provenance, governance, and economic models essential for a strategic reader's understanding of future technological infrastructure.
The fundamental security assumptions and infrastructural needs for AI-driven data economies are being redefined, necessitating integration of post-quantum cryptography within blockchain for long-term verification and trust.
- · Blockchain developers specializing in post-quantum cryptography
- · AI platform providers prioritizing data security and provenance
- · Cyber-physical systems integrators
- · Legacy blockchain systems relying solely on pre-quantum cryptography
- · Data intermediaries without robust security and provenance guarantees
- · Organizations slow to adapt to new cryptographic standards
The demand for post-quantum secure blockchain solutions will accelerate significantly.
New standards and regulatory frameworks will emerge for data integrity and sovereignty in AI-driven decentralized networks.
Geopolitical competition will intensify over the control and deployment of quantum-resistant blockchain infrastructure supporting critical AI systems.
