AI in Blockchain with Rust Programming

February 22, 2025 @ 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Introduction

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain technology has opened a new frontier for innovation, reshaping industries with its unparalleled potential. AI excels in analysing vast amounts of data, making predictions, and optimizing processes, while blockchain offers secure, decentralised, and immutable systems for data storage and transactions. Together, they create a synergy that addresses modern challenges such as data privacy, trust, and scalability.

Central to this intersection is Rust, a systems programming language renowned for its safety, performance, and concurrency. Rust’s design makes it uniquely suited for developing robust and high-performance blockchain systems while supporting the computational needs of AI applications. As the demand for secure and efficient solutions grows, Rust empowers developers to build the next generation of decentralized and intelligent systems.

In this introduction, we’ll explore:

  • How AI and blockchain complement each other.
  • Why Rust is the ideal choice for programming in this domain.
  • Real-world use cases and the potential future of AI-powered blockchain systems.

By the end of this journey, you’ll understand the transformative potential of this triad and how to harness it to build groundbreaking applications

Prerequisites:

While basic programming skills are advantageous, they are not mandatory for this course. The curriculum is designed to be taught from the fundamentals, making it suitable for newcomers. However, participants are expected to have a thorough understanding of computer components and their usage.

Familiarity with programming concepts and basic understanding of blockchain or AI.
An eagerness to learn Rust programming and its applications in advanced technologies.

Course Objectives:

This course is ideal for anyone looking to future-proof their career by diving into the rapidly growing fields of AI, blockchain, and Rust programming;

  1. Introduction to Blockchain and Rust and AI (Artificial Intelligence)
  2. Introduction to Rust and Advanced Rust Programming
  3. Blockchain Concepts
  4. Building Smart Contracts with Rust
  5. Blockchain Architecture
  6. Setting Up the Development Environment for Blockchain
  7. ML Models (Supervised Learning, Neural Networks, Data Manipulation with Rust)
  8. Integrating AI with Blockchain (to provide actionable insights)
  9. Developing a Prediction DApp (Using a Rust-based AI model to predict cryptocurrency price trends based on historical data)
  10. Rust-based tool that analyses on-chain transaction data using machine learning for fraud detection

Please contact us for a detailed content.

This is a 16-week course that provides the required knowledge and skills to become a Software Developer.

SQA Framework:

This course is aligned with the Professional Development Award (PDA) in Software Development at SCQF Level 8Learners who successfully pass all required examinations will earn a total of 48 credits, contributing to their professional and academic development.

Hands on Experience:

The features of hands-on approach we provide, ensures that learners gain a strong foundation in both AI and blockchain while leveraging Rust’s capabilities to build secure, efficient, and scalable solutions. Hands-On Learning: Participants will gain practical skills that directly apply to real-world problems, positioning them to lead or contribute to projects at the intersection of AI and blockchain.

Modes of Learning:

You have the option of undertaking this course via following learning modes:

1.) Face to Face Classroom based Learning: You will attend the class each week on the day and time mentioned above.

2.) Virtual Learning: Live traditional face to face class will broadcast to all virtual learners each week on a specified time.

3.) Blended Learning: Mixture of Face to face and Virtual learning (must inform when joining the course).

How to apply for the Course Funding from SAAS PTFG:

SAAS Part Time full funding is available for this course and the course training will be totally free for eligible candidates only. SAAS Part Time full funding is available for this course and the training will be totally free for eligible candidates only. This is a grant not a loan and the funding covers the full cost of our designated courses including the SQA relevant exams.

Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS)

Please visit the https://www.saas.gov.uk/part-time/undergraduate-funding to apply for the course funding;

In addition to the funding application student must fill ITPT course admission application form so we can reserve the place while their SAAS funding application is in process. Any student who do not inform us then their place in the course will not be guaranteed as we have minimum places to offer to SAAS funded students/learners.
Students intending to use SAAS Part Time Fee Grant to fund their studies should apply well prior to the course starting dates. In some cases we allow students to enrol while their funding is in process, if the course date is near or gone past but they have to provide the proof that their funding has been applied to SAAS PTFG and is in under process.

Self-Finance

Students can also self-finance this course if do not qualify for the funding. The cost can be divided into manageable instalments but this needs to be paid within the course duration. To book the place, first instalment must be paid before the course starting date.

Group Learner Discounts:

There are further discounts if there a group of students or delegates from the company wants to attend the course.

What ITPT do to help students for SAAS funding application forms?

We advise & provide information regarding their SAAS funding application, how and what information to fill through SAAS PTFG online portal so don’t worry just make an appointment and pop along, our dedicated course consultants will be happy to assist you accordingly.
