Abstract:The application of artificial intelligence technology will bring changes to manufacturing industry, and the impact of artificial intelligence policies on manufacturing employment is yet to be verified. Based on policy quantification, this paper analyzes the impact brought by artificial intelligence policy, and it explores the effects of artificial intelligence policies of different provinces and cities by classifying them into different groups. The results show that the impact of artificial intelligence policy on manufacturing employment is becoming apparent; the earlier the provinces and cities that promulgated regional artificial intelligence, the greater the impact of artificial intelligence policies on manufacturing employment; the effect of market-driven artificial intelligence policy is more obvious than other polices; there is a significant negative correlation between science and technology investmentand and manufacturing employment.
