Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence technology can bring economic benefits to intelligent manufacturing enterprises. However, it can also lead to changes in the human capital structure of these enterprises due to the substitution and complementary collaboration of artificial intelligence with human work. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of academics. This study examines the mediating effect of human capital structure on the performance of smart manufacturing firms impacted by artificial intelligence applications, using a stepwise approach. The panel data of 217 Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed manufacturing enterprises and the industrial robot installation data released by IFR from 2012 to 2019 were selected for the analysis. It has been found that the application of AI can significantly improve the performance of China’s intelligent manufacturing enterprises. Furthermore, the use of AI will increase the demand for highly skilled labour, thereby achieving an improvement in enterprise performance through the optimisation and adjustment of the enterprise’s human capital structure. In areas with high levels of industrialization, knowledge and technology density, and good population quality, AI applications show a stronger optimization effect on human capital structure.
