Abstract: This extensive research aims to ascertain the prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology integration in publicly listed manufacturing firms in China from 2012 to 2022 by analyzing their annual reports using advanced supervised machine learning methodologies. Our thorough analysis rigorously scrutinizes the ramifications of such integration on the companies’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance metrics. The findings are significant: the adoption of AI technology exerts a notably positive influence on ESG performance, with green innovation emerging as a critical intermediary in this correlation.
