Exploring the Impact Mechanism of Digital Economy Level on the Degree of Common Prosperity Based on the Development of Artificial Intelligence

共同富裕是社会主义的本质要求，也是人民群众的共同期盼。当前，数字经济作为继农业经济和工业经济之后的新型经济形态，正步入深化应用、规范发展、普惠共享的新阶段。讨论共同富裕的实现路径离不开数字经济的大背景，本文基于我国2011~2021年省级面板数据，运用熵值法对各省数字经济水平以及共同富裕程度进行测算，并采用线性回归、调节效应模型探究数字经济水平对共同富裕程度的影响。研究结果表明，数字经济水平对共同富裕程度具有显著的正向影响，人工智能的发展带来的外部环境和技术创新水平的提升可以加强数字经济水平对共同富裕程度的积极影响。Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and the common aspiration of the people. Currently, as a new economic form following agricultural and industrial economies, the digital economy is entering a new stage of deepening application, standardized development, and inclusive sharing. The discussion on the realization path of common prosperity cannot be separated from the general background of the digital economy. Based on the provincial panel data from 2011 to 2021 in China, this paper uses the entropy method to measure the level of digital economy and the degree of common prosperity of each province, and uses linear regression and adjustment effect models to explore the impact of the level of digital economy on the degree of common prosperity. The research results indicate that the level of the digital economy has a significant positive impact on the degree of common prosperity, and the improvement of the external environment and technological innovation brought by the development of artificial intelligence can enhance the positive impact of the digital economy level on the degree of common prosperity.
