隐私监管治理视角下人工智能技术应用赋能企业创新的影响机制研究OACHSSCD

The comprehensive advancement of artificial intelligence as a strategic technology for leading innovation and im⁃proving its regulatory framework is of significant importance.This paper utilizes machine learning methods to generate an artificial intelligence lexicon based on data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2024.It conducts text analysis on annual re⁃ports to measure artificial intelligence technology application levels and empirically examines the effects of artificial intelligence ap⁃plication and privacy regulation on corporate innovation.The findings indicate that artificial intelligence technology positively impacts corporate innovation mainly through three mechanisms:promoting technological transformation,enhancing management efficiency,and optimizing labor structure.However,higher spending on privacy regulation reduces the positive impact of artificial intelligence on innovation output.Heterogeneity analysis shows that stronger privacy regulations enhance the positive effect of artificial intelli⁃gence application on innovation in certain industries.Additionally,the benefits of artificial intelligence are more pronounced in la⁃bor-intensive and technology-intensive sectors,with a stronger impact observed in labor-intensive firms.State-owned enterprises also experience a greater positive effect on innovation output from artificial intelligence application,with the negative moderating effect of privacy regulation applying only to state-owned firms.This paper provides new empirical evidence on the relationship be⁃tween artificial intelligence application,privacy regulation,and corporate innovation.
