Abstract:The development and application of artificial intelligence technology is a key engine for boosting residents’ consumption and promoting consumption quality and expansion. Clarifying the core mechanism of artificial intelligence on residents’ consumption is of great practical significance for current policy formulation to promote consumption and expand domestic demand. Based on the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data, This paper analyzes the specific mechanisms and effects of artificial intelligence on household consumption in China. The results showed that artificial intelligence can effectively promote residents’ consumption expenditure, and its effect varies significantly due to differences in residents’ human capital and subjective expectations. People with high education levels and subjective expectations are more strongly affected by the consumption promotion effect of artificial intelligence. Optimizing industrial structure, promoting residents’ digital network access and use, and improving residents’ income level are important mechanisms for artificial intelligence to promote residents’ consumption expenditure, and the influencing mechanisms exhibit structural heterogeneity in different consumption types. Specifically, artificial intelligence mainly promotes residents’ survival consumption expenditure through the path of industrial structure optimization; through the digital network access and use path, it mainly promotes residents’ development-oriented consumption expenditure; the impact of the income increase path on residents’ consumption shows a polarization effect, and for groups below middle income, the promotion effect of artificial intelligence on residents’ consumption gradually weakens through income changes; for middle-income and above groups, the promotion effect of artificial intelligence on residents’ consumption is very significant. Expanding analysis found that the occupational substitution risk brought by artificial intelligence reduced residents’ consumption expenditure to a certain extent.
