By Yan Chen, Jiayi Lyu, Zixuan Gao and Yanfeng Li

Abstract: This paper explores the long-term ripple effects of Artificial Intelligence Computing Power (AICP) on corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. Quantitative analysis reveals a complex interplay between China's AICP and corporate ESG performance. Moreover, the integration of AI computing power and ESG has generated widespread and profound "ripple effects" on global sustainable transformation and economic development. By delving into the dynamic interaction mechanisms between the two, this study unveils the mysteries behind these ripple effects. Finally, the findings offer meaningful policy recommendations for the synergistic development of digital intelligence and sustainability.
