Business Model Innovation and Industrial Chain Construction Empowered by AI For Low Altitude Economy

Abstract

In recent years, a large number of low altitude aircraft, represented by drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, have accelerated their entry into various fields such as logistics and distribution, urban management, agricultural crop protection, emergency rescue, etc., playing an increasingly important role in promoting production and improving people's livelihoods. Meanwhile, with the diversification of application scenarios and the increasing frequency of flight activities, traditional production and operation methods face problems of low efficiency, low energy, and lack of intelligence. The application and development of artificial intelligence technology has pushed the low altitude economy to enter the era of AI + .bringing disruptive effects on the low altitude economy from the perspective of big data analysis, intelligent judgment, and automated operations. Based on the development of low altitude economy empowered by AI, this paper explores the driving role of AI in the development of low altitudeeconomy and proposes four types of innovative modes generated under AI driving. On this basis, this article also analyzes the formation and development of the low altitude economy industry chain by artificial intelligence, and elaborates from four aspects: upstream, midstream, downstream, and supporting platforms. Given the technical constraints, airspace governance frictions, and shortage of viable commercial patterns in combining artificial intelligence with low altitude economic development, targeted strategies and suggestions are put forward to guide how to grasp the opportunity of low altitude economy and the formation of a new ecosystem for intelligent industry development.
