As a critical aspect of the industry 4.0 era, application artificial intelligence (AI) is significant to environmental governance. It serves as crucial driving force in assisting enterprises transition toward low-carbon practices. This paper examines China's A-share industrial from 2011 2022, constructs and trains word vector model extract AI-related terms, impact AI applications on carbon emission intensity these investigated. The findings reveal that enhancing level can effectively decrease intensity. Specifically, 1% increase leads reduction 0.0395% Further analysis indicates diminish their by optimization supply chain green technology innovation. Heterogeneity suggests utilizing beneficial for reducing manufacturing, high-tech, high-pollution enterprises. results this study enrich micro-level research relationship between intensity, offering valuable insights aiming achieve sustainable development.

Abstract Trade and pollution are important issues for people's well‐being. However, less attention has been paid to the study of changes in international trade rules affecting emission behavior micro firms. This paper takes quota restriction multi‐fiber arrangement (MFA) lifted as an exogenous impact explores barriers reduction on emissions textile industries using difference‐in‐differences (DID) method. The results show that (1) after MFA was lifted, increased industry. enterprises' SO 2 intensity with reduced increases by 8.1% compared have not reduced. (2) barrier varies type enterprise ownership, export nature, scale. For private enterprises, large‐scale promotion effect is more significant. (3) mechanism test increase mainly caused market share deterioration energy structure, output enterprises. Therefore, it critical reduce maintaining a reasonable share, optimizing structures, increasing investment treatment equipment. reveals profoundly influenced production decision‐making companies exporting countries, producing deep implications providing empirical evidence management guidance developing countries' development environmentally friendly policies responses trade‐induced environmental shocks.

Considering possible endogenous problems, this chooses number scholars Ming Qing dynasties as instrumental variable urban commercial environment. The empirical results show that: Firstly, improvement has significant contribution export growth enterprises; Secondly, mechanism role SMEs is mainly expressed promoting R&D investment enhancing market dynamics; Thirdly, more obvious state-owned enterprises, eastern regions cities with less trade freedom. With development environment, individuals or companies join competition industry new start-ups stimulate corporate exports, existing promote local preferential policies, increased R&D, optimized innovation policies well resource allocation.
