The rise of AI streamers in the live-streaming industry has significantly reshaped stakeholder strategies and transformed the ecosystem. While these AI streamers offer operational advantages, their adoption also presents notable challenges. Existing research has primarily focused on the business-to-consumer (B2C) perspective, neglecting the broader dynamics of how AI streamers influence multi-stakeholder interactions within the live streaming ecosystem. This study addresses this gap by developing a tripartite evolutionary game model to explore the strategic interactions among brands, Multi-Channel Networks (MCNs), and platforms, thereby providing a comprehensive understanding of AI streamers’ impact on stakeholders’ strategic decisions. The findings indicate that brand adoption of AI streamers is influenced by factors beyond the balance of additional revenue and adoption costs. Even when additional revenue surpasses adoption costs, brands may hesitate due to concerns over long-term sustainability and technological risks. Sensitivity analysis reveals a non-linear relationship between costs and benefits, highlighting that as adoption costs rise, brands may revert to traditional live streaming despite high revenue. Regulatory strategies play a critical role in shaping brand adoption decisions. In particular, moderate supervision fosters both innovation and stability, whereas overly strict or lenient regulations can hinder AI adoption. Thus, effective calibration of regulations supports AI adoption without compromising market stability. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of multi-stakeholder ecosystems and offers practical insights for integrating AI innovation with effective governance in live-streaming commerce.
