Abstract

Using datasets spanning across 31 Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2021, this study investigates how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and green financing influence the premium development of local cultural industries. Findings indicate that the advancement of AI can significantly enhance the high-quality development of regional cultural industries. Furthermore, green finance facilitates high-quality development in these industries and moderates the relationship between AI development and the high-quality development of cultural industries. The impacts of AI development and green finance on the high-quality development of cultural industries differ by area.
