Study on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Industrial Green and Low-Carbon Development
In the context of new quality productivity,artificial intelligence has become a new driving force leading the high-quality development of industry. The findings are as follows:Firstly,the development of artificial intelligence significantly reduces industrial carbon emission intensity and significantly improves industrial green total factor productivity. This conclusion is still valid after considering endogenous bias;Secondly,the influence of artificial intelligence on industrial green and low-carbon development shows the regional heterogeneity characteristics of the strongest in the western region and the weakest in the eastern region. Thirdly,through the effect of green innovation,efficiency improvement and structural adjustment,artificial intelligence meets the conditions for the birth of new quality productivity,thus helping to promote the green and low-carbon development of industry;Finally,external environmental variables such as economic development level,urbanization level,residents' education level and R&D investment intensity can positively regulate the impact of AI on industrial green and low-carbon development. To this end,the following measures should be taken:efforts should be made to improve the development level of artificial intelligence everywhere,and stimulate the industrial green and low-carbon development dividend of artificial intelligence;Smooth multi-channel support for the integration of"intelligent+green"and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity;Pay attention to the regulatory role of external environmental factors,and maximize the energy saving and carbon reduction potential of artificial intelligence.
