A 257-city Chinese quasi-natural experiment found that the targeted AIIDPZ policy reduced urban–rural income inequality by roughly 8.41%, providing scoped counter-evidence to an unqualified positive AI–inequality relationship. DATASET_RESULT

Source: Can Artificial Intelligence Narrow the Urban–Rural Income Inequality? Evidence from a Quasi-Natural Experiment in China · locator {} · excerpt hash sha256:7bc829b6886fde7e7839782155d211fe79ad3a1192b5e46ac15643713753d09a

The findings show that, after accounting for covariates as well as individual and year fixed effects, the development of artificial intelligence exerts a significant and negative effect on urban–rural income inequality. Specifically, compared with non-pilot regions, AI development in designated pilot zones meaningfully reduces the urban–rural income inequality.
