Research on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Corporate Pollution Emissions
In the new stage of booming development of artificial intelligence,the application of artificial intelligence by enterprises can help promote green and high-quality development.This article takes Chinese A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2021 as the research object to examine the impact of artificial intelligence on corporate pollution emissions.Research has found that the adoption of artificial intelligence by enterprises can significantly reduce their pollution emissions.Under a series of robustness tests,the above results remain unchanged.Heterogeneity analysis shows that artificial intelligence has a more significant inhibitory effect on pollution emissions from enterprises in the eastern region,state-owned enterprises,labor-intensive enterprises,non technology intensive enterprises,and large-scale enterprises.Mechanism analysis shows that artificial intelligence reduces labor employment and improves total factor productivity to reduce pollution emissions.
