A Study on the Relationship between Artificial Intelligence and 5G Network Construction and the Level of Economic Development of Regional Cities

Abstract

Urban digital governance represented by digital city and smart city is becoming an important direction of urban agglomeration development. It is necessary to reexamine the internal relationship mechanism between local government digital action and regional governance behavior. Based on the theory of collective action and network governance, this paper discusses how the economic development level of local government interacts with the cooperative network status of urban agglomeration and affects the tendency of digital governance strategy of local government. By constructing the configuration matrix of “economic development level” and “cooperative network status” of local governments in urban agglomerations, this paper extracts the possible “center” and “follow” governance strategies that local governments in different configurations may adopt in the digital field. The ant colony optimization algorithm proposed in this paper consists of two parts—ACO initialization and ACO optimization. ACO initialization describes how to map the path of ants to the solution of the problem, that is, the combination of orders. In addition, ACO initialization will also define and initialize the pheromone and heuristic information model compatible with the solution. ACO optimization updates the pheromone model to heuristic guide ants to build paths, so as to iteratively find the optimal solution. The case study of 26 cities in the Yangtze River Delta of China shows that most of the digital governance strategies of local governments are in line with the selection logic of their configuration status of “economic level network status”. The study results proved that the proposed model has provided effective accuracy of 96%. However, driven by selective returns, there are still some “abnormal” governance tendencies.
