Abstract
This study examines the impact of environmental uncertainty on artificial intelligence technology innovation (AITI) within Chinese listed companies from 2010 to 2022. The study highlights the mediating role of managerial sentiment, showing that increased environmental uncertainty erodes managerial optimism and consequently hinders AITI. Focusing on the impact of environmental uncertainty, we delve into its multifaceted effects on companies' efforts in AITI. The results provide insights for managers and policy makers on how to effectively drive AITI in the face of environmental uncertainty and to inform the development of relevant policies.
