Abstract

Artificial intelligence technology provides new solutions to management problems and plays an important role in investment decision-making. In this study, we explore the effect of artificial intelligence on corporate investment. Using a sample from China, we find that artificial intelligence improves corporate investment efficiency by enhancing internal control and ESG performance. This finding is particularly pronounced in firms with high artificial intelligence application proficiency and without state ownership. Finally, our findings demonstrate that AI could influence corporate investment decisions, encouraging firms to engage in risky investment behaviours. Our findings have implications for firms to adopt artificial intelligence to optimise investment.
