[Purpose/Significance] Provincial AI policies play an important role in implementing national plans and guiding the implementation of local policies.Studying the content of provincial policies will help to clarify the layout and focus of artificial intelligence development of provincial governments,and provide reference for subsequent policy-making.[Method/Process] The paper constructed a policy tool-a two-dimensional analysis framework of policy objectives,taking a total of 23 provincial artificial intelligence policies in the four major regions of China's eastern,central,western,and northeastern regions as the research objects,and conducted quantitative analysis of policy content.[Result/Conclusion] On the whole,in the tool dimension,the provincial policy shows that the supply type is used the most,the environmental type is not used enough,and the internal distribution of demand type is uneven.In the target dimension,the integration of specific fields has attracted the highest attention and the least theoretical research.In the tool target dimension,there is an obvious one-to-many and many to one relationship.Different goals have different emphasis on the use of tools.From the perspective of each region,the East,middle,West and northeast show certain similarities and differences in tool application and target deployment.The East attaches great importance to the innovation of science and technology source.The central part focuses on promoting industrial development.The overall use ofenvironmental tools in the west is the least,but the proportion of internal sub tools is balanced.The Northeast emphasizes promoting the development of enterprises from the aspects of Finance and taxation,but it is necessary to strengthen the regulation of relevant laws and regulations.
