I was thinking it would be interesting to make a virtual world where AIs can compete for bitcoins or other coins, maybe even trade them perhaps. The AIs that are most successful can evolve onto the next generation. What has there been done in regards to virtual world AIs? Probably has been discussed a lot in the past, but with the blockchain based digital currency there are new opportunities in regard to persistence and rewards.
What about something more of a narrow AI, as in the title of this thread, and more applicable to the digital currency sphere? How can narrow AI be used to, for instance, evaluate the integrity of a coin network, or perhaps make a better metric than the market cap to measure the amount of money that the network contains? The market cap can be really volatile, and doesn't apply if there is not enough liquidity to cover a large order that wants to enter or exit a currency. Can narrow AI be used to detect fake volume trading on exchanges? And is this term really any different from just any code that is already being used in the software to run the blockchains? (Since any logic and mathematical operations are the building blocks of some type of intelligence that can be referred to as "narrow AI")

Great Idea, the very concept i am working on is that the initializing data of every AI will be different, much like we all generate different addresses. every user has a local AI that crunches data and makes recommendations, and yes AI all evolve but slight deference is given to AI that are exceedingly accurate in their predictions and those lagging behind re-intialize with new data and past checkpoints. This allows the system to evolve as a whole while not being centralized, and not reliant on "tiers" as i had envisioned previously.
One of the biggest problems people who want AI and blockchain to work together don't realize is that they are different technologies. A blockchain is sequential, Ai is not... and BOOM...the idea dies a sad death. We then get to your second paragraph... after some deep thought.
If you follow my posts you will see the evolution of my idea into exactly what you describe and more. The AI will make comprehensive analysis and make local recommendations that benefit the user while submitting network recommendations that help in the overall network policy.
there is indeed a major difference between a normal blockchain and an "intelligent" one. A normal blockchain works on "hard-coded " parameters, whereas an intelligent chain actually modifies it's parameters to fit the environment based on input variables. An intelligent chain is an open system whereas the typical chains are closed.
