Buyer Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Environmental Governance and Supplier Environmental Controversies: An Organizational Information Processing and Signaling

The study investigates how exposure to buyers’ artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled environmental governance affects supplier environmental controversies. Using text analysis and panel data from 2,505 suppliers of U.S.-listed firms across 41 countries (2020‑2024), the authors find that such exposure is negatively associated with controversies in the following year. The effect is stronger in countries with higher AI readiness and regulatory quality.
