How does artificial intelligence affect high-quality energy development? Achieving a clean energy transition society

As China’s energy development undergoes a process from qualitative improvements to quantitative changes, high-quality energy development (HED) has become a vital strategy of the Chinese government. As a representative of emerging technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) can effectively promote clean energy transition, strengthen energy security, and enhance the above process. Therefore, this paper explores the relationship between AI and HED based on gauging the HED index and AI development level of 30 provinces in China covering 2007–2017. In addition, we use green innovation and R&D intensity as mediating variables to study the indirect effect of AI on HED. We further explore the threshold effect of the…
