Multiple Paths of the Integration of Innovation Chain and Talent Chain in the Urban Artificial Intelligence Industry
This paper is based on cross-sectional data from 290 prefecture level and above cities in China in 2020,focusing on the artificial intelligence industry.Firstly,an improved TOE framework was applied to explore the mechanism that affects the integration of innovation and talent chains in the artificial intelligence industry.Secondly,an indicator system was con-structed to measure the integration degree of the innovation chain and talent chain using a coupling coordination degree mod-el.Finally,the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method was used to explore the diverse paths of the integration of the innovation chain and talent chain in the artificial intelligence industry.Results show that there are four paths to highly integrate the innovation chain and talent chain of the artificial intelligence industry:digital technology innovation-innovation synergy-talent comprehensive security policy-economic environment type,digital technology innovation-digital infrastruc-ture-innovation synergy type,digital infrastructure-talent comprehensive security policy type,and digital infrastructure-financial science and technology support policy type.
