Research on the Path of High-Quality Development of Artificial Intelligence in Chinese Cities——Qualitative Comparative Analysis Based on Techno-Economic Paradigm
Artificial intelligence(AI)is an important force to promote high-quality economic and social development in China.Based on the theory of techno-economic paradigm,95 cities are taken as the research sample,and the fsQCA method is applied to explore the multiple paths of the synergistic mechanism of the six antecedent conditions,namely,industrial foundation,market scale,human capital,government intervention,financial capital and technological innovation,affecting the high-quality development of AI in Chinese cities from the perspective of grouping state.The main conclusions are as follows:the development of urban AI in China has the obvious characteristics of different paths and multiple paths concurrently,and no single factor can be a necessary condition for the generation of high and non-high AI development in the city,or a sufficient condition for triggering the generation of its high and non-high-quality development;the generation of high and non-high-quality development in the city is the result of the joint action of multiple factors,and each of them forms two paths;Expanding market size and enhancing human capital play a more pervasive role in generating high AI development in cities,and the lack of industrial base is a common constraint to high AI development in cities.
