RETRACTED: Non-linear research on artificial intelligence empowering green economic efficiency under integrated governance framework

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in the development of the green economy. This paper examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on green economic efficiency (GEE) using panel data from 30 provinces in China spanning 2011–2020. A multiple linear regression model, alongside various endogeneity and robustness tests, is applied to ensure reliable findings. The empirical results indicate that AI significantly enhances GEE. However, the marginal effect of AI on GEE is influen
