Abstract: The deep application of artificial intelligence technology in the forestry sector has injected critical momentum into the realization of forest ecological product value. Using provincial panel data from 2011 to 2023, this study thoroughly analyzes the effects and mechanisms of artificial intelligence technological innovation on the efficiency of forest ecological product value realization.The findings reveal: Artificial intelligence technological innovation significantly drives the improvement of forest ecological product value realization efficiency, and this conclusion remains valid after multiple robustness tests; Artificial intelligence technological innovation can enhance forestry technological innovation, thereby boosting the efficiency of forest ecological product value realization; the clustering of the forestry industry positively moderates the promoting effect of artificial intelligence technological innovation on forest ecological product value realization efficiency; heterogeneity analysis shows that artificial intelligence technological innovation has a more pronounced effect on enhancing forest ecological product value realization efficiency in eastern regions and forest resource-rich areas. The research conclusions provide theoretical support and practical references for improving China's ecological product value realization mechanism and achieving modernization with harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
