自2022年人工智能技术取得突破性进展以来,学界对人工智能(AI)与创业关系的研究呈现爆发式增长。然而,现有文献仍缺乏系统性的梳理和评述。鉴于此,本文对权威期刊上发表的70篇AI与创业文献展开分析,从研究主题和方法论双重视角解构了AI影响创业意向、创业机会、创业资源、创业决策、创业绩效、创业治理以及研究方法的范式革新等七类主题,剖析了既有研究的成就和不足。在此基础上,本文提出了AI影响下创业领域七大前沿议题,包括:(1)探讨不同制度框架下AI技术对创业意向和创业活力的影响机制;(2)构建基于AI的机会发现观与机会创造观;(3)关注AI能力的形成与组织嵌入机制;(4)探究AI与创业者的混合决策机制及其结果;(5)探索AI与企业绩效的共演机制;(6)丰富AI时代的创业治理机制;(7)深化AI方法在创业研究中的应用。本文初步构建了AI与创业研究的整合分析框架;揭示了 AI 作为多层智能技术体系(建模方法—智能技术—智能系统)的技术属性,以及自主性、互动性两个关键技术特征;识别了不同创业领域的研究缺口,以期为后续研究提供有益的参考。
