Research on the High-Quality Development of Foreign Trade Under the Trend of AI Innovation
Abstract
This paper takes the innovative trend of artificial intelligence (AI) technology as a starting point to explore its profound impact on the high-quality development of foreign trade. The article first clarifies the connotation and evaluation indicators of high-quality foreign trade development, and then reviews the global development dynamics of AI technology and its core application scenarios. Based on technology-driven theory, diffusion of innovations theory, and value chain reconfiguration theory, a theoretical framework for the integration of AI and foreign trade is constructed. The paper analyzes the empowering effects in key areas such as intelligent supply chain management, optimization of cross-border e-commerce platforms, and precision marketing, while also addressing potential risks such as data security and privacy protection. Building on theoretical review and conceptual exploration, the paper proposes a development model driven by AI to promote the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade, and provides strategic recommendations for governments and enterprises in policy formulation and implementation pathways. The aim is to offer both theoretical support and practical guidance for the high-quality development of foreign trade in the digital economy era.
