Impact of Artificial Intelligence Technology on Urban Economic Resilience
Based on the 288 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2021,the non-linear impact effect of AI on ur-ban economic resilience is examined by constructing a panel-smoothed transfer model.It was found that there is a U-shaped relationship between AI and urban economic resilience.Mechanism tests indicate that AI not only enhances urban e-conomic resilience by increasing entrepreneurial activity but also reduces urban economic resilience by exacerbating the dig-ital divide.Dynamic feature analysis shows that the impact effect of AI on urban economic resilience shows a trend of first inhibiting and then promoting over time.Heterogeneity results show that AI has a significant enhancing effect on the eco-nomic toughness of the Yangtze River Delta and other city clusters,as well as high economic development level regions and pilot cities in the big data comprehensive pilot zone.In the Beibu Gulf and other city clusters,as well as low economic de-velopment level areas and non-big data comprehensive test area cities,AI will weaken urban economic resilience.
