AI and green technological specialization in US Metropolitan Areas: The interplay between science and technology
(with. M. Coda Zabetta)
ABSTRACT. This paper explores the connection between Artificial Intelligence (AI) knowledge and green technological specialization, focusing on the critical role of AI as a driver of innovation. We examine how AI-related research influences regional specialization in green technologies across US Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Using a comprehensive dataset of AI publications and patents spanning 1982–2017, we test hypotheses about the effects of AI knowledge on green innovation. Our findings reveal that regions with strong AI knowledge stocks are better positioned to sustain green technological specialization. Moreover, AI knowledge moderates the role of relatedness, reducing reliance on pre-existing technological pathways. This is effect particularly relevant in the case of university-driven AI research.
