Spatial Effect of Provincial Artificial Intelligence Development on Green Total Factor Productivity
The rapid development of artificial intelligence has become a powerful engine to promote green economic transformation.This article systematically explains the spatial mechanism of the impact of provincial artificial intelligence development on China's green total factor productivity,and builds a comprehensive evaluation index system of provincial artificial intelligence development level from three dimensions of technical conditions,intelligent application and innovation practice based on the provincial panel data from 2010 to 2022.It uses the superefficiency SBM-GML index model and the spatial Durbin model to measure the green total factor productivity and test the spatial effect of provincial artificial intelligence development on green total factor productivity respectively.The results show that:1)The spatial agglomeration of artificial intelligence development and green total factor productivity is significantly different in different provincial regions.2)The development of artificial intelligence has an obvious spatial spillover effect on green total factor productivity,and the results are reliable through various robustness testing methods.3)Heterogeneity test shows that the spatial effect of artificial intelligence development on green total factor productivity is different in different regions.4)The adjustment mechanism test shows that the relationship between artificial intelligence development and green total factor productivity is regulated by industrial agglomeration,and the higher level of industrial agglomeration strengthens the role of artificial intelligence.The research conclusions provide data support and a new perspective for evaluating the spatial effects of artificial intelligence development,and provide reference for exploring the improvement path of green total factor productivity and the formation of corresponding new quality productive forces.
