| Abstract | Against the backdrop of an era where artificial intelligence serves as the core driving force spearheading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, strengthening general education in artificial intelligence carries vital strategic significance for fostering students’ digital literacy and computational thinking. Taking the practice of AI literacy education at Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University as an example, this report elaborates on an innovative teaching model for general artificial intelligence courses. Centered on personalized competency cultivation, the model relies on platforms as carriers and knowledge graphs as links. It demonstrates major practices of tiered teaching for students from diverse majors, offering replicable and promotable valuable experience for the development of AI general education courses in various educational institutions.
On this basis, centering on the core theme of “AI Empowering the Future of Education”, the report analyzes the profound transformative potential of AI in education from four dimensions: targeted innovation of teaching models, upgrading of talent cultivation objectives, collaborative evolution of educational ecosystems, and two-way empowerment of technology and ethics. Meanwhile, it addresses practical challenges including rapid technological iteration, balanced resource allocation and ethical norms, and proposes countermeasures such as dynamic curriculum updates, popularization of lightweight tools and diversified collaborative governance. The findings provide theoretical references and practical guidance for advancing high-quality development of AI general education and constructing a new paradigm of AI-enabled education. |
