The technological strength of a company is crucial for partner selection and investment decisions. A strong technological strength enables the company to seize industry trends and technological frontiers, maintaining a competitive advantage. Open innovation is a method that promotes the development and growth of a company by strengthening connections and collaborative exchanges with the external environment. This study, based on the theory of complex networks, focuses on the research subject of an AI company and explores the relationship between open innovation, network structure, and technological strength. The research findings reveal that open precision has a positive impact on technological strength, while open breadth has a negative impact. Network structural holes negatively moderate the relationship between open precision and technological strength and intensify the negative impact of open breadth on technological strength. On the other hand, network degree centrality positively moderates the influence of open breadth on technological strength. The research results are significant for understanding the mechanism through which open innovation affects the technological strength of a company.
