Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Ecosystem: Evolutionary Developments, Challenges, and Future Directions
TL;DR
The paper synthesizes the conceptual frameworks surrounding IE, decomposing them into manifestations in physical, social, and thinking spaces, and employs an evolutionary perspective to analyze the roles provided by AI during different development periods of AIIE.
Abstract
The development of the Innovative Ecosystem (IE) presents a new paradigm for economic integration, collaborative advancement, and shared achievements. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly accelerated the global processes of digitization, informatization, and intelligence. Exploring how AI can leverage inherent characteristics to influence the development trajectory of IE is a topic that warrants further investigation. Given AI's increasing prominence and role within IE, the paper analyzes this new form, examining both AI's unique contributions to IE and its potential challenges. Firstly, the paper synthesizes the conceptual frameworks surrounding IE, decomposing them into manifestations in physical, social, and thinking spaces. Furthermore, the concept of Artificial Intelligence IE (AIIE) is introduced from a spatial perspective, with an exploration of the characteristics AI contributes to IE. Subsequently, the paper employs an evolutionary perspective to analyze the roles provided by AI during different development periods of AIIE. The paper then verifies the feasibility, effectiveness, and rationality of the AIIE's definition and analyzes AIIE development from an evolutionary perspective using enterprise development examples. Finally, acknowledging AI's inherent limitations, the paper examines potential challenges facing AIIE in the future from four perspectives, aiming to identify new research avenues for the further development of AIIE.
