Under its substantial spillover and radiation effect, it can effectively empower the covered departments and enterprises, accelerate the growth rate and development efficiency, and thus enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. However, in the current landscape, despite the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence, notable gaps persist in its specific performance metrics, The data reveals a notable upward trend in the number of business failures in China over the last decade. Numerous enterprises have struggled to stay abreast of current trends, hindered by outdated facilities, products, and sluggish institutional updates, compounded by the repercussions of the global economic downturn.

Thus, based on the current situation of AI development and application, this paper makes an analysis and discussion and provides instructions for the development of enterprises.
