What are the options of connecting Blockchain Technology to other Information Technologies in the Future?
I′m looking for good topics to start writing my research proposal for PhD. This request is only for topics and the gap u find, I need topics based on current journals(recent year 2017 to 2019) and based on real gaps. The topics should be around Artificial intelligence and IOT from a business perspective. please identify the reference list and reference in-text where the gap was found and what was it based on. And make sure the gap not published before as well as the topics. I want topics as many as you can and do not write anything about finance or medicine or practical and technical issue.
Please make sure to do the these:
1- regarding the questions could you please identify the reference where the gap was found for each question and what was it based on. So, you must reference every research topic reference in-text.
2- each question writes which the gap or the problems you find it or the suggestions your discovery to cover the gap or problem.
3- most the topics focus on how use AI on retails industry
**** I will give you example how to write the topic with the gap and reference in-text ******
for example, for the topic and where is the gap with reference:
Research Topic 1: How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Drives Consumers Aspirational Consumption (Sheffield University Management School, 2019).
According to Sheffield University Management School (2019), AI is gradually influencing nearly all aspects of consumption activities, and its uses have the ability of reshaping the expectations of consumers, the manner in which companies’ stakeholders collaborate, and revamping business models. Nonetheless, all research on AI focuses on technological understanding of its implementation, ignoring the value of AI from the responsible consumption, fairness, as well as inclusive society point of view in order to improve purchasing experience, and developing efficient methods of marketing with social responsibility.

Research Topic 2: What are the options of connecting Blockchain Technology to other Information Technologies in the Future?
Online information technologies and Blockchain is likely to continue to advance, with more applications possibly connecting technologies to advance the current industrial revolution referred to as Industry 4.0. The technologies under industry 4.0 include big data technologies, machine learning, and cloud computing, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, Internet of Things, and Data Mining. Reyna et al. (2018) indicated that the development of IoT has advanced conventional devices, making them autonomous. Despite the advances, Reyna et al. (2018) identified many challenges, mainly regarding the security domain, specifically data reliability. Blockchain has transformed the way people share information, with the focus on ways to build trust in various environments, without the need for regulatory authorities changing the industry. Reyna et al. (2018) identified a gap in regard to connecting Block technology to other internet technologies, based on relevant surveys and studies conducted, as the paper tried to establish ways blockchain enhances IoT.
