aceA blessing or a curse? The impact of artificial intelligence innovation on corporate energy efficiency
This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) innovation influences corporate energy efficiency and the underlying mechanisms. We develop a general equilibrium model incorporating energy input and endogenous AI technology to explain how AI innovation improves energy efficiency through production process optimization. Using a deep-learning-based text identification, we develop a firm-level measure of AI innovation for Chinese listed companies over the period 2008–2022. Our empirical results show that AI in…
Across Chinese listed companies from 2008 to 2022, greater AI innovation was associated with significantly better corporate energy efficiency, with production process optimization as a likely channel.
The evidence covers Chinese listed companies from 2008 to 2022, and the mechanism analysis is described only as consistent with production process optimization, not as definitive proof.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2054 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
