Against the backdrop of the rapid iteration of AI technology and the in-depth advancement of the "Artificial Intelligence+" initiative, the research paradigm of philosophy and social sciences is undergoing a digital-intelligent transformation from the traditional model. As a core city of the old industrial base in Northeast China, Shenyang’s philosophy and social sciences research undertakes the important missions of serving the revitalization of Northeast China, inheriting industrial civilization, and improving urban governance. In response to the current practical dilemmas and combined with the construction project of "Liaoning AI Social Sciences" in Liaoning Province, this paper sorts out the current situation and challenges of social sciences research in Shenyang, analyzes the core mechanism of AI-driven transformation of scientific research paradigms, and puts forward the implementation paths for AI-driven innovation of Shenyang’s social sciences research paradigm from four dimensions: platform construction, talent training, institutional innovation and characteristic field focusing. It provides theoretical support and practical guidance for promoting the high-quality development of philosophy and social sciences in Shenyang and assisting the all-round revitalization of Liaoning.
