Research on Collaborative Promotion of Environmental Protection and Social Security in the Context of Artificial Intelligence
The superposition of the effects of economic policies and non-economic policies may lead to the fallacy of synthesis,which deviates from the overall policy goal.The fallacy of synthesis of economic policies and non-economic policies in the context of aging stems from the coexistence of"getting old before getting rich"and"controlling pollution before getting rich"in China.Aging puts forward higher requirements for social security expenditures.With the advancement of the construction of beautiful China and the practical needs of the elderly,environmental governance expenditures need to be guaranteed.How to realize the coordinated promotion of environmental governance and social security through the development of artificial intelligence(AI)is the core issue of this paper.Reviewing historical data,this paper finds that against the background of aging,social security,and environmental governance have not formed a coordinated promotion trend,and further transmission leads to a double decline in economic environmental quality and output,which damages social welfare.By establishing static and dynamic general equilibrium models,this paper explores the feasible path of developing AI to realize the collaborative promotion of social security and environmental governance.The static model analysis shows that even under the model scenario of maximizing social welfare,the optimal policy choice is still to relax the intensity of environmental governance to meet the real needs of economic growth and social security to the greatest extent.The dynamic model shows that AI can promote the coordinated promotion of social security and environmental governance in the aging era.Specifically,at the early stages of Al development,the cleaner production process enables policies to appropriately relax environmental governance functions without damaging environmental quality,providing a"green plateau"for a substantial increase in social security expenditures.In the later period of the development of AI,the multi-period continuous increase of social security expenditures enables the policy to gradually relax the social security function and increase the environmental governance expenditures.The results of this study show that the development of AI can realize the coordinated promotion of social security and environmental governance in the aging era,and simultaneously improve output,environmental quality,and welfare level in the long run.This study believes that due to the heterogeneity of regional residents'preferences,it is equally important to distinguish different regions,urban population aging process,and public heterogeneous demands for environmental quality,and to predict the turning point of the change in the sequence of policy priorities.The main innovation of this study is to simulate the dynamic path of tax allocation and propose to use the temporal reallocation of fiscal functions to solve the problem of collaborative promotion of social security and environmental governance from the structural perspective.
