Abstract

Artificial Intelligence(AI) has become an important means to enhance the technological complexity of manufacturing exports. Based on the theories of comparative advantage, technological innovation, new trade theory, and skill-biased technological progress, this study empirically examines the relationship between AI and the technological complexity of manufacturing exports in 30 provinces(excluding Tibet) from 2012 to 2021. The results indicate that AI has significant positive impact on the technological complexity of manufacturing exports, which is robustly validated, especially in the eastern and central regions. Based on these findings, the paper suggests targeted recommendations.
