Abstract

Under China’s “dual carbon” goals, AI has become an important driver of manufacturing firms’ green transformation. Based on Chinese A-share listed manufacturing firms from 2012 to 2023, this study employs a two-way fixed-effects model and a mediation model to examine the effect and mechanisms of AI on green transformation. The results show that AI significantly promotes manufacturing firms’ green transformation, and this conclusion remains robust after a series of tests. Mechanism analysis reveals that AI facilitates green transformation by promoting green technological innovation and alleviating financing constraints. Heterogeneity analysis further shows that this green enabling effect is more pronounced in heavily polluting, capital-intensive, and highly competitive industries. These findings provide theoretical support for “AI + green manufacturing” and offer policy implications for strengthening green technology guidance, improving the green financial system, and promoting high-quality and sustainable manufacturing development.
