Abstract

The interchange of processes, systems, and users between Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and immersive technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have expedited the advancements and evolution of the Metaverse into a decentralized and engaging digital ecosystem. While rationalizing and enabling intelligent and engaging immersive experiences in contexts that range from social to industrial to education, new cybersecurity incidents arise that include, but are not limited to, immersive phishing, impersonation through deepfakes, and identity spoofing. This survey reviews various AI–Blockchain frameworks for trust management, decentralized authentication, and behavioral anomaly detection in the Metaverse in the contexts of social uses, industrial uses, and educational uses. AI supports adaptive threat detection, while Blockchain supports verifiable, tamper-proof identity verification. In addition, this paper discusses challenges in regard to trust, scalability, bias, and interoperability, and provides future directions for privacy-preserving and context-aware security in the Metaverse space.
