Abstract

This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the quality of export products. Using data from 5,274 Chinese firms from 2003 to 2015, we demonstrate that corporate AI development significantly enhances export product quality by facilitating quality certification, as confirmed by several robustness tests. Moreover, the impact of AI demonstrates significant heterogeneity across different firm types. State-owned enterprises, manufacturing firms, and exporters aiming for developed markets and high-tech industries benefit more from AI development in terms of product quality improvement. These findings provide strong empirical evidence that firms must develop AI-driven strategies. Furthermore, they offer valuable insights for policymakers seeking to boost China's export competitiveness.
