Abstract

Abstract

This paper explains the connotation, characteristics and significance of the concept of artificial intelligence automation from the perspective of new quality productive forces. Artificial intelligence automation is different from mechanical automation; it is the autonomous generation of organization and behavior. Its essential features are self-optimization mechanism, autonomous organization mechanism, and automatic behavior function. These traits and characteristics of artificial intelligence automation enable it to produce dual productivity in both direct and indirect aspects. The direct productivity and indirect productivity of artificial intelligence automation are compounded, generating effects such as a technology innovation growth rate exceeding the capital accumulation growth rate, the superimposed effect of capital productivity growth × technological productivity growth, and the economic growth singularity effect. Through an in-depth analysis of artificial intelligence automation from the perspective of new quality productive forces, this article aims to explain the key issues between artificial intelligence and economic growth, study the production model of artificial intelligence automation in terms of its characteristics, qualities, and traits, the type of productivity it generates, how it is generated, and its significance, providing intellectual support for China’s artificial intelligence innovation and economic development.
