Introduction

The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology is profoundly changing the social economy and human life. Higher education, as a position of scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation, is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. China has clearly pointed out that education, science and technology, and talents are the basic and strategic support for the comprehensive construction of a socialist modernized country [1-4]. In this context, innovation and entrepreneurship education has become a breakthrough in the comprehensive reform of Chinese higher education and a key to the change of talent training mode. However, traditional innovation and entrepreneurship education has been difficult to adapt to the new requirements of the intelligent era in terms of concept, curriculum and practical training [5-8]. Artificial intelligence is providing historic opportunities for the change of innovation and entrepreneurship education, and influencing the transformation and upgrading of the talent cultivation mode of colleges and universities in multiple dimensions [9-10].

College students' innovation and entrepreneurship education and mental health education are two important education methods in colleges and universities, with consistent value connotation and similar education path. Innovation and entrepreneurship education provides a platform for mental health education to promote personal growth, and mental health education provides strong support and guarantee for innovation and entrepreneurship education [11-14]. The integration path of college students' innovation and entrepreneurship education and mental health education includes integrating the curriculum teaching system, carrying out innovation and entrepreneurship psychological training camps, implementing the innovation and entrepreneurship psychological dual-mentor model, and integrating innovation and entrepreneurship competitions and mental health activities [15-17].

Wang,Q. et al. used multiple linear regression analysis and mediation effect modeling analysis to conduct a questionnaire survey among college students. The results show that entrepreneurial knowledge plays a mediating role in the relationship between willingness and performance, while the mediating role of behavior and attitude of entrepreneurship is not very obvious. The results of this study have important reference value for the design and implementation of innovation and entrepreneurship education for college students [18]. Zhao,X. et al. conducted a questionnaire survey on hundreds of college students and used linear regression to analyze the entrepreneurial psychological quality as well as the entrepreneurial emotions of college students. The results of the study pointed out that the entrepreneurial psychological quality of college students is affected by factors such as gender and family belonging place [19]. Wang,B. emphasized that the key factor for the success of college students' entrepreneurship is psychological quality. How to promote the integration of mental health education and innovation and entrepreneurship education was discussed in relation to the educational practice of college students. The results point out that the mutual integration of the two is conducive to the further development of education with the support of advanced educational concepts [20]. Zheng,M. specifies that developmental psychology is of great significance to the model of innovation and entrepreneurship talent cultivation. And this model needs to be optimized in many aspects, including the corresponding courses for career planning of innovative and entrepreneurial talents, diversified educational activities, and a perfect talent cultivation system, etc [21]. Cao,J. emphasized the importance of the psychological quality to the results of entrepreneurship. And the cultivation of college students' entrepreneurial psychological quality is the requirement of the development of the times and the embodiment of the entrepreneurial ability of college students, so it is of great significance to combine the cultivation of college students' entrepreneurial psychological quality with entrepreneurship education [22]. Chen,H. said that innovation and entrepreneurship is the key to cultivate talents in colleges and universities, and combined with bat algorithms to create a data processing model, which resulted in an AI innovation and innovation system with the ability of data analysis entrepreneurship system, and make appropriate adjustments to it according to the needs. The results of the study confirmed the practicality of the system with good performance [23].

This paper proposes a specific form of utilizing artificial intelligence technology in the field of mental health and establishes the theoretical foundation of the research. In view of the extensive use of artificial intelligence technology in various aspects, it is proposed that artificial intelligence technology be applied to the field of innovation and entrepreneurship mental health, and the regression analysis method is used to explore the influence relationship between the two. Combining the research development of artificial intelligence technology in the field of mental health, innovation, and entrepreneurship, a research hypothesis is proposed. The SAS scale, SDS scale, and SCL-90 scale are used to measure the psychological state of innovation and entrepreneurship students in colleges and universities, and the data are collected to establish a multiple linear regression model, and the endogeneity test and robustness test are conducted to verify the research hypotheses.

Theoretical basis of the study
Mental health

Mental health is a manifestation of a person's good mental qualities and an essential part of their overall health. Maintaining the mental health of college students is a very important and serious task, both from the perspective of human resource development of the whole society and the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, as well as from the perspective of personal growth and development, improvement of activity efficiency and improvement of life quality.

College students' mental health standards involve basic mental ability, internal and external coordination and adaptation, emotional and affective stability, role and function coordination, and good learning ability.

The internal and external coordination and adaptation of college students' mental health standards includes five items, mainly from the aspects of individual personality, interpersonal relationships, and social adaptation.

The core standard for measuring human mental health is emotional stability. College students may experience emotional fluctuations during their transition from school to society due to the increase in the number of new things they are exposed to. The more serious psychological problems that occur to them are also triggered by mood swings. It can be seen that emotions are extremely important to the mental health of individuals. They are an indicator of individual mental health and are also an outward manifestation that is very easy to detect.

Learning is the primary task of college students, and the items in this dimension are all necessary skills for college students to learn. Psychologically healthy college students are bound to value learning opportunities and achieve efficient learning through effective time management. At the same time, they can also experience the satisfaction gained from studying. Good learning ability provides the basis for the development of potential and self-realization of college students, and the lack of learning-related abilities may also cause behavioral and emotional problems, thus affecting the state of mental health, so this is also one of the important dimensions.

The Important Role of Psychological Adjustment in Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The importance of psychological adjustment in innovation and entrepreneurship is reflected in the key role it plays in improving an individual's ability to cope with the stresses inherent in the professional sphere and in developing a positive professional attitude. This dual function demonstrates the urgent need for a resilient and optimistic mindset when dealing with the complexities of the contemporary job market.

Psychological adjustment equips individuals with the necessary competencies to effectively cope with the multifaceted pressures associated with employment. As individuals progress through their careers, they encounter challenges such as job transitions, performance expectations, and workplace dynamics. The ability to adapt cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally is critical to mitigating stressors and maintaining mental health. Through continuous adjustment, individuals can develop coping mechanisms, resilience, and the ability to manage setbacks, ultimately contributing to sustained career success.

Psychological adjustment plays a transformative role in shaping an individual's attitude towards their career. An optimistic outlook, proactive engagement, and a constructive approach to challenges are all traits of positive career attitudes. People with a well-adjusted mindset are more likely to view setbacks as opportunities for growth, embrace change, and maintain a sense of purpose and direction in their professional endeavors. This positive outlook not only impacts personal satisfaction and fulfillment, but also contributes to a more resilient and productive workforce. In addition, individuals who have positive career attitudes are better equipped to capitalize on opportunities, build collaborative relationships, and adapt to the evolving demands of today's workplace.

Use of Smart Technology in Mental Health
Artificial intelligence-based mental health counseling

Artificial intelligence can develop virtual psychological teachers, through natural language processing and emotion recognition technology, artificial intelligence image synthesis technology to generate the “perfect” psychological teacher, to provide online consulting services. Through natural language processing, emotion recognition, and other technologies, AI can have real-time conversations with users and provide emotional support, resource recommendations, and other services to meet their personalized needs. Students can openly confide their psychological distress to the virtual psychology teacher to better eliminate their guardedness, understand their accurate mental health status, and provide psychological support and guidance. This approach helps to reduce the pressure on psychologists and enables more students to benefit from personalized mental health services.

AI-based emotion recognition

Intelligent applications based on audio and video analytics can perform emotion recognition. Technology that utilizes relevant audio and video analytics can help improve teacher-student relationships by providing teachers with real-time feedback on students' mental health. By analyzing students' learning progress, engagement, and emotional state, it helps teachers better understand the needs of each student and develop more appropriate teaching strategies.

Artificial intelligence-based mental health assessment

Intelligent mental health assessment can be carried out by comprehensively analyzing social media data, smart device data, video game data, and wearable device data.

It has been proposed that AI technology can assist humans in mind reading, providing an objective standard for measuring whether human mind reading is reliable or not. This makes the results of mental health assessments more objective and compensates for the shortcomings of the traditional questionnaire form. Moreover, the results of students' mental health assessment can be used as a basis for the development of the next stage of the teaching plan to help students recognize psychological problems in a targeted and planned way, thus accelerating the construction of secondary school students' mental health literacy.

Artificial Intelligence-based media outreach and education

With the help of NLP technology, the analysis of sentiments and opinions in social media, news and online forums can help to understand the trends of mental health issues and the needs and concerns of parents, so as to precisely formulate advocacy strategies. And based on the information obtained, targeted lectures can be given to parents of secondary school students to correct their misperceptions of certain mental illnesses, so that parents and students can proactively clarify the stigma of mental disorders, thus shaping a favorable educational atmosphere of home-school cooperation. In addition, AI can monitor and screen mental health information disseminated by the media to ensure that it is accurate, scientific, and useful.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Sector

Artificial intelligence-driven innovation and entrepreneurship emphasizes the participation of multiple subjects, and the subjects of innovation and entrepreneurship are no longer limited to researchers, entrepreneurs, developers and users, and AI also participates in individual innovation and entrepreneurship process as a creative tool.

The main body of innovation and entrepreneurship is human, but artificial intelligence already has a strong independent learning ability, will assist entrepreneurs to work, help entrepreneurs to make decisions, support entrepreneurs to start a business, and jointly complete the entrepreneurial task. Artificial intelligence technology can improve the decision-making process, improve the quality of decisions, and thus improve operational performance. Accelerating the entrepreneurial process and improving the quality of entrepreneurship can be achieved through the use of generalized AI.

With the improvement of AI intelligence level, the role of AI in innovation and entrepreneurship is rising from “tool man” to “strategic partner”, playing an increasingly important role. Artificial intelligence provides innovative entrepreneurs with problem-solving tools, allowing individuals to focus more on creative ideas, while AI is responsible for specific implementation.

Artificial intelligence technology development brought about by the effect of multi-subject co-creation, requiring individuals in innovation and entrepreneurship not only to have the ability to communicate and cooperation and organizational and management skills. It is also necessary to learn how to collaborate with machines, possess the ability and literacy to cooperate with AI in innovation and entrepreneurial activities, and carefully consider the ethical and moral issues brought by AI.

Research design and validation
Research hypotheses

In the early days, AI for psychotherapy mainly relied on psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The most commonly used therapy in clinical psychological counseling and treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, which targets psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and stress disorders. It guides patients to reorganize their cognitive structure through three types of methods: cognitive restructuring, coping skills, and problem solving, and has the advantages of a short course of treatment, structure, good efficacy, and a low relapse rate.

With the advent of the digital age, computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (CCBT) and web-based self-help cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) are gradually emerging.CCBT utilizes a fully automated virtual therapist to intervene with patients in real time, and has the advantages of short time-consuming, flexible format and low cost.CBT uses the Internet as a medium and works in a variety of forms, such as text, audio, video and games, and has the advantages of advantages of high interactivity and real-time.

The following are the benefits of artificial intelligence in counseling and therapy. Users can apply for AI counseling without space constraints and receive results in a short period of time. It can compensate for the shortage of human resources and alleviate the pressure on medical personnel. It reduces the cost of counseling and treatment, and expands the target audience of mental health system services to include low-income people and disadvantaged groups. Users believe that AI will not be swayed by factors such as empathy and prejudice when conducting counseling and treatment, and that communicating with AI can avoid stigmatization, reduce the embarrassment of face-to-face communication, and be more willing to speak freely.

Artificial intelligence is gradually becoming a part of digital mental health, making a contribution to the field of mental health. “AI + mental health” is an emerging field that can play a role in assisting psychological counseling and treatment. With the prosperous development of AI technology and in-depth research, it has a broad and bright future in psychological counseling and treatment, and will further empower digital mental health, which can provide mental health services in different scenarios such as healthcare institutions, families, schools, etc., and even become the main force of psychological intervention.

Based on the above, this paper proposes hypothesis 1.

H1: There is a significant improvement in the mental health of entrepreneurs after applying artificial intelligence technology.

Artificial intelligence technology is a new technology that can imitate human thinking and behavior. In the field of new engineering, AI technology has been widely used in various fields.

Big data analysis and prediction is a very important part of the innovation and entrepreneurship process, and AI technology can come in handy in this part. Traditional methods of market research and trend forecasting often take a lot of time and effort, but by using AI technology for big data analysis and forecasting, key information can be obtained quickly to more accurately understand market demand and consumer behavior. By collecting and analyzing large amounts of data, AI can help students predict future market trends, assess risks, determine product design, and marketing strategies.

Product design is an important part of the innovation and entrepreneurship process. AI technology has the ability to optimize product design by analyzing user behavior and preferences, which can aid students in developing products that meet market demand and improve product competitiveness. By collecting a large amount of data, such as users' purchase history and search records, AI can profile users and predict their needs and preferences.

In the process of innovation and entrepreneurship, marketing strategy is very important. And AI technology can help students develop more accurate marketing strategies, improve marketing effectiveness, and attract more users.

In the process of innovation and entrepreneurship, it is crucial to manage teams and projects. By using AI technology, students can manage their enterprises and teams more efficiently, resulting in better work efficiency and teamwork effects. Artificial intelligence can also help students with financial management and risk assessment. For example, through the use of intelligent financial management tools, you can track the financial status and cost expenditures of the enterprise in real-time, and formulate financial strategies based on data analysis and forecasts. In terms of risk assessment, the market environment and competitors can be analyzed and evaluated through the use of artificial intelligence technology, so as to develop more scientific risk management strategies.

Accordingly this paper proposes hypothesis 2.

H2: The use of artificial intelligence improves the working environment and favors the mental health of entrepreneurs.

Research model
Logistic regression model

In this paper, the research model by establishing on the basis of Logistic model, to carry out the multiple regression analysis with the frequency of use of artificial intelligence technology and the use of the function as the independent variable, and a variety of factors in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship mental health as the dependent variable.

Model Assumptions

Logistic regression model is shown in (1) [24-25], namely: logit(p)=log(p1p)=Xβ

When the sample size is N, then Y=(Y1,Y2,…YN)‵ let Y be centered (removing the intercept term α), i.e., satisfy i=1NYi=0,β=(β1,β2,,βK) as a K -dimensional vector, X=(X1,X2,,XN) . Where Xi = (Xi,1,…Xik)′, X unfolds to be the matrix of N × K as shown below. i.e: X=( x1,1x1,2x1,Kx2,1x2,2x2,KxN,1xN,2xN,K )

Let Xi,k be standardized, i.e., satisfy i=1NXi,kN=0 and i=1NXi,k2N=1 .

The assumptions of the logistic regression model are summarized below: Yi{0,1},i=1,,N P(Yi=1|Xi)=exp(i=1KXi,kβk)1+exp(i=1KXi,kβk)

Y1,…YN are independent of each other.

There is no exact or approximate linear relationship between Xi,k,k = 1,⋯K.

Parameter estimation and its nature

According to the model assumption conditions, its distribution is known, so the method of great likelihood estimation can be chosen to estimate the unknown parameters.

Let: pi=P(Yi=1|Xi)=exp(i=1Xi,kβk)1+exp(i=1KXi,kβk)

Then: P(Yi=0|Xi)=1pi=11+exp(i=1KXi,kβk)

Available: P(Yi|Xi)=piYi(1pi)1Yi

And according to the modeling assumption condition Y1,…,YN is independent of each other can be obtained. i.e: P(Y|X)=i=1NpiYi(1pi)1Yi

The likelihood function can be obtained as shown in the following equation: L(β)=i=1N(exp(i=1KXi,kβk)1+exp(i=1KXi,kβk))Yi(11+exp(i=1KXi,kβk))1Yi,

Taking logarithms yields the log-likelihood function as follows: L(β)=i=1N{ Yilog(pi)+(1Yi)log(1pi) }=i=1N{ YiXiβlog(1+exp(Xiβ)) }

The likelihood equation can be obtained by taking the first order derivative of βj,j=1,⋯,K separately and making it 0 as follows: l(β)βj=i=1N(Yiexp(Xiβ)1+exp(Xiβ))Xi,j=0,j=1,,K,

Then β^=(β^1,,β^K) is the solution of the above system of likelihood equations.

From the above can be obtained from this great likelihood estimate is nonlinear, it is difficult to get direct results, so in the actual operation of the computer often use iterative algorithm to calculate the approximation of the parameter estimate, the estimate to meet the following asymptotic properties, unbiased, validity, normality.

Significance test

In the general linear regression model (9) the residual sum of squares (SSE) is defined as follows: SSE=i=1N(YiY^i)2=i=1N(YiXiβ^)2

In Logistic regression modeling, the equivalent concept to this is the departure, which comes from the likelihood ratio test between the fitted model and the saturated model. The formula for defining the outlier is shown below: D=2ln(L(β))

The test of significance for a single variable with the original hypothesis of H0:βm=0 is similar to the statistic F defined in the general linear regression process. Defining statistic G in Logistic regression is shown below: G=2ln(L(β1,,βm1,βm+1,,βK)L(β1,,βm,,βK))

There are under the condition that the original hypothesis holds: G|H0~χ(1)2

Select 0 < α < 1 and always take α =0.05. If pvalue=P(χ(1)2>G)<α holds, the predictor variable corresponding to βm is said to be significant for the response variable at the 1–α level of significance.

Multiple linear regression models

Multiple linear regression equation is a mathematical model used to express the linear relationship between an explanatory variable and multiple explanatory variables and its regularity [26].

Let the explained variable y be linearly related to the explanatory variable x1,x2,…,xk then the linear regression model between the explanatory variable and the explanatory variable can be expressed as: y=β0+β1x1+β2x2++βkxk+ε

Where β0,β1,β2,…βk is the β0 unknown parameter of the regression model, y is the constant term of the regression model, which represents the estimate of the overall mean of the explanatory variable y when all explanatory variables are zero, and β1,β2,…βk is the regression coefficient. ε is the explained variable, x1,x2,…..xk is the explanatory variable, and ε is the random error. According to the actual energy consumption data, the specific regression model can be obtained by solving equation (16).

Multiple covariance test is required for the explanatory variables before modeling using multiple regression model, and the existence of high correlation between the explanatory variables in the linear regression model will make the model estimation distorted or difficult to estimate accurately. Before and after modeling, a series of tests such as R-test, F-test, t-test, etc. need to be peformed on the data used for modeling to identify whether the model’s goodness-of-fit status, equation significance status and variable significance status meet the requirements.

The total sum of squares of deviations, regression sum of squares, and residual sum of squares of the multiple linear regression model are needed to test the model, respectively: TSS= yi2= (YiY¯)2 ESS= yi2= (YiY¯)2 RSS= ei2= (YiYi)2

Goodness-of-fit test R2=RSSTSS=1ESSTSS

R2 is the sample coefficient of determination, which, for a given sample, R2 reflects the goodness of fit of the regression equation to the sample observations. R2 serves as a test of the goodness of fit of the regression equation to the sample values: R2(0≤R2 ≤1) the larger, the better the fit between the regression equation and the sample. Conversely, the regression equation is a poor fit to the sample values.

The size of the sample coefficient of determination R2 is related to the number of explanatory variables in the model, and R2 tends to increase when a new explanatory variable is introduced into the model, but an increase in R2 due to an increase in the number of explanatory variables does not indicate a better fit. Moreover, given a certain sample size, increasing the number of explanatory variables will increase the number of parameters to be estimated must reduce the degrees of freedom, so an adjustment for R2 is also needed. The effect of the number of explanatory variables on the goodness of fit can be removed by dividing the sum of squares of the residuals and the sum of squares of the total deviations by their respective degrees of freedom. To wit: R¯2=1RSS/(nk1)TSS/(n1)

Using R¯2 to explain the goodness of fit of the regression equation eliminates the dependence of R2 on the number of explanatory variables. The relationship between R¯2 and R2 is as follows: { R¯2=1n1nk1(1R2)R2=1nk1n1(1R¯2)

In the actual analysis, the larger the R¯2 or R2 of the model, the better the fit, indicating that the explanatory variables in the model have a greater degree of influence on the explained variables as a whole, but it cannot be said that the explanatory variables in the model have a significant degree of influence on the explained variables. In the actual regression analysis, a good regression model should not only fit well, but also consider the reliable estimation of the overall regression coefficients, and the comprehensive consideration of the reliability of the model and the practical significance of the decision coefficients can be appropriately reduced requirements.

Significance test of variables (T-test)

The F-test rejects H0 and the overall relationship of the equation is significant. However, it does not imply that the effect of all explanatory variables on the explained variables is significant. Therefore, each explanatory variable needs to be tested for significance separately. The t-test is used to determine whether the variable can be retained in the model as an explanatory variable by formulating the hypothesis: H0:β0 = β1 = β2 = β0… = βk = 0, constructing Γ statistic t=β^i/Sρ^i . Assuming that H0 is valid, constructing statistic t obeys the F-distribution with (nk–1) degrees of freedom, and given the level of significance α, the critical value tα/2(nk–1) can be obtained by looking up the table and calculating to find the value of statistic t, and rejecting or accepting H0 by |t|>tα/2(nk–1) or |t|≤tα2(nk–1). Reject H0, regression coefficients are significant explanatory variables are retained in the model. Accept H0, regression coefficient is not significant explanatory variables are not retained in the model.

Empirical results and analysis

Adopting the method of whole cluster combined with random sampling, and using the type of university as the basis of stratified whole cluster sampling, four universities (two comprehensive universities, one polytechnic university, and one teacher training university) were selected in Zhejiang Province to conduct effective and credible survey statistics and data analysis on the overall mental health status of innovative and entrepreneurial college students. In order to outline the basic outline of the current mental health status of innovative and entrepreneurial students in colleges and universities.

Specifically, a total of 1,950 questionnaires were distributed within the four universities, and after deleting the invalid responses, 1,820 responses were finally valid. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 91%. The respondents were all university students, 893 males and 927 females. Their ages ranged from 18 to 24 years old, with an average age of 20.15±2.37 years old.

Level of mental health in innovation and entrepreneurship

Self-Assessment Scale for Anxiety (SAS)

Anxiety disorders research has been the focus of research on emotional problems. Anxiety disorders are widespread in the population and have a more obvious impact on mental and physical health. The SAS test was conducted for innovation and entrepreneurial students in four institutions in order to understand the current situation of students' anxiety problems related to innovation and entrepreneurship and the factors that affect them.

The SAS test for college students in four universities is shown in Table 1, and the results show that the number of male students surveyed was 893, and the average score for male students was 42.61±10.22.

Regression analysis of the use behavior of AI technology on behavioral intention

The regression analysis of the use behavior of AI technology on behavioral intention is shown in Table 9. In the same way as above, a regression model was established for analysis with behavioral intention as the independent variable. The model is significant and there is no covariance problem, the R2 value is 0.234, and the model is well constructed.

Based on the R2 value of the model, it can be seen that the R2 value of model 3 increased by 3.6% after the addition of the independent variables, which can indicate that model 3 has more explanatory power for behavioral intention. Gender and marital status do not have a significant impact on the model. Age always has a significant negative effect on behavioral intention, i.e., the older the age, the more negative the behavioral intention. Education level always has a significant positive effect on behavioral intention, i.e. the higher the education level, the more positive the behavioral intention.

In this chapter, the research hypotheses H1 and H2 were verified through regression analysis. And the research hypotheses H1 and H2 were further verified after controlling the effects of relevant variables by establishing a multiple linear regression model for regression analysis. It can be seen that the motivation to use AI technology significantly and positively affects user behavior. And both the frequency of use and the function of use in the use behavior significantly and positively affect social emotions, social cognition, values, and behavioral intentions. Therefore, the research in this paper fully confirms that the use of AI technology reinforces usage behavior through motivation. And the frequency of use and the intensity of use function of AI technology will have a significant positive impact on the psychological health of innovative entrepreneurs.

Benchmark regression

The basic regression results and robustness tests are shown in Table 10, where the regression coefficient of AI is -1.845, which is significant at the 5% level after controlling for individual characteristics, innovation and entrepreneurship characteristics, and regional characteristics. Since the dependent variable mental health is a negative indicator, it can be assumed that innovative entrepreneurship programs that used AI improved the mental health of their students by 1.845 points compared to innovative entrepreneurship programs that did not use AI, and that the application of AI greatly improved the mental health of innovative entrepreneurship students. Thus, hypothesis 1 is accepted.

Endogeneity test

Considering that the use of AI may be non-random and some individuals' spontaneous and selective behavior, the estimation results of the basic model may have estimation bias due to the self-selection problem of individuals, this paper adopts the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method to alleviate this problem of endogeneity.

In this paper, the control variables are used as matching covariates, and the 1:2 nearest neighbor matching method is used for propensity score matching, while frequency-weighted samples are used for benchmark regression.

The specific results can be found in Model III in the table above. When other variables remain unchanged and pass the 10% significance test, the estimated coefficients of the independent variables are negative. It indicates that artificial intelligence applications can improve the mental health of innovative entrepreneurs. It is evident that the hypothesis of this paper remains valid.

Robustness Tests

Two robustness tests were conducted to ensure the reliability of the above results. In this section, the focus is on testing the main impact of artificial intelligence.

First, the robustness of the overall impact was tested by using a proxy for the dependent variable. Here, a score of 16 was used to construct an indicator of the tendency of innovative entrepreneurs to be psychologically depressed as a proxy variable for mental health. If an innovative entrepreneur's total score for depressive symptoms is less than 16, he or she is considered to be in good psychological health, and the variable is assigned a value of 0. Conversely, if the total score is 16 or greater, this indicates poor psychological health, and the variable is assigned a value of 1. Substituting this new variable into the formula yields the regression results, and this result is generally in line with the results of the benchmark regression, and the main conclusions of this paper still hold true.

Conclusion

Based on the development and use of artificial intelligence technology in the field of heart health, this paper brings artificial intelligence technology into the field of innovation and entrepreneurship mental health, and establishes a regression analysis model to test the impact of artificial intelligence technology on the mental health of innovation and entrepreneurship learning. The mean values of SAS score and SDS score of innovative entrepreneurship students in the four universities were 43.34±9.765 and 49.79±10.94 respectively, and the highest value of the detection rate of psychological problems in SCL-90 test was 40.09%, and there was no difference in the incidence rate of SCL-90 symptom self-assessment scale between the institutions. The regression results showed a R2 value for each model, indicating that the model was well constructed. According to the R2 value of the model, it can be seen that the model is more explanatory after adding the frequency of use and the function of use of artificial intelligence technology. In general, the frequency and function of using artificial intelligence technology significantly and positively affects the social emotions, cognition, values, and behavioral intentions of innovative and entrepreneurial students. Meanwhile, the endogeneity test as well as the robustness construction indicate that the hypotheses are valid and that AI technology favors the mental health of innovative entrepreneurs and significantly improves the mental health of innovative entrepreneurs.
