Management Transformation and Development Path of China's New Quality Productive Forces Driven by Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

New Quality Productive Forces refer to a productive form dominated by technological innovation. As a strategic technology leading the new round of technological revolution, artificial intelligence became the core engine driving the development of New Quality Productive Forces by empowering production factors, restructuring production processes, and fostering emerging business formats. Based on panel data of 2012-2022 from 30 provinces in China, the research attempts to explore the intrinsic relationship between artificial intelligence and New Quality Productive Forces in China by means of direct effect and mediating effect. The main conclusions are following. The first, Artificial intelligence significantly promotes the New Quality Productive Forces in China. The second, scientific technology innovation plays a significant mediating role between artificial intelligence and the New Quality Productive Forces in China. The study aims to clarify the mechanism of action between the two and provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for effectively utilizing artificial intelligence to cultivate New Quality Productive Forces.
