  In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are
reshaping society's production methods and productivity, and also changing the
paradigm of scientific research. Among them, the AI language model represented
by ChatGPT has made great progress. Such large language models (LLMs) serve
people in the form of AI-generated content (AIGC) and are widely used in
consulting, healthcare, and education. However, it is difficult to guarantee
the authenticity and reliability of AIGC learning data. In addition, there are
also hidden dangers of privacy disclosure in distributed AI training. Moreover,
the content generated by LLMs is difficult to identify and trace, and it is
difficult to cross-platform mutual recognition. The above information security
issues in the coming era of AI powered by LLMs will be infinitely amplified and
affect everyone's life. Therefore, we consider empowering LLMs using blockchain
technology with superior security features to propose a vision for trusted AI.
This paper mainly introduces the motivation and technical route of blockchain
for LLM (BC4LLM), including reliable learning corpus, secure training process,
and identifiable generated content. Meanwhile, this paper also reviews the
potential applications and future challenges, especially in the frontier
communication networks field, including network resource allocation, dynamic
spectrum sharing, and semantic communication. Based on the above work combined
and the prospect of blockchain and LLMs, it is expected to help the early
realization of trusted AI and provide guidance for the academic community.
