Is “Intelligence” More Capable of Promoting the Development of the Tertiary Industry? — Analysis of the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Different Categories of Industries

In the new scientific and technological revolution round, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has become a key leading force for industrial change. Research shows that AI not only promoted technical transformation and industry upgrades but also played a significant role in the rapid development of emerging industries. Based on the installed number of industrial robots and the industrial data by the National Bureau of Statistics, this study establishes a theoretical framework with the econometric model and compares the impact of AI on different categories of industries through empirical analysis. Our results show that AI not only promotes economic growth but also plays a key role in promoting the tertiary industry. Hence, optimization of industrial structure and economic upgrade can be induced.
