Does Artificial Intelligence Promote Urban Green Innovation?
In the context of China's efforts to achieve the goal of"dual carbon"and high-quality development,based on the panel data of 284 cities in China from 2007 to 2021,artificial intelligence and green innovation are incorporated into a theoretical analysis framework.The influence of artificial intelligence on the level of green innovation,the influence mechanism and the difference of the influence of artificial intelligence on green innovation under different conditions were tested by the fixed effect,threshold effect and intermediary effect models.The results show that artificial intelligence can enable green innovation,and the enabling effect presents a nonlinear feature of decreasing the enabling range after the marginal increase to a certain extent.The intermediary effect shows that artificial intelligence promotes green innovation through two paths of human capital structure optimization and industrial structure adjustment.The moderating effect shows that a good institutional environment and appropriate government intervention positively moderates the empowering effect of AI on green innovation.
