This research examines the industrial application of Artificial Intelligence technology. It constructs an Artificial Intelligence technology maturity index system based on four dimensions: urban development environment, financial support, research and development capability, and development effect. Principal component analysis is employed to measure the Artificial Intelligence level. The study analyzes the influence of Artificial Intelligence on industrial development quality. It utilizes panel data from 11 cities in Zhejiang Province from 2010 to 2022 to build an econometric model. An empirical investigation is conducted on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the development quality of Zhejiang’s manufacturing sector.
