Introduction

Background of the conference

Artificial intelligence is integrating into people's learning, work, and daily life with unprecedented breadth and depth, injecting new momentum into economic and social development while opening up vast possibilities and practical pathways for educational transformation. The rapid advancement of new technologies represented by large models and generative AI is reshaping the way knowledge is produced and disseminated, fundamentally transforming the underlying logic of education, and driving continuous evolution in teaching scenarios, learning methods, and assessment mechanisms. While this process brings infinite possibilities for educational innovation, it also raises higher requirements for ethical norms, data security, and digital literacy. The international community is paying close attention to the integrated development of AI and education. The UN Transforming Education Summit emphasized that digital learning must benefit all learners. UNESCO has successively released the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, the AI Competency Framework for Teachers, and the AI Competency Framework for Students to guide countries in the responsible application of AI. A growing number of countries are incorporating AI literacy into their educational development schemes, actively exploring diverse pathways for AI-empowered teaching, assessment, and management, while simultaneously strengthening ethical safeguards and privacy protection.
