Currently, artificial intelligence is reshaping education with unprecedented breadth and depth. Facing this historic opportunity, higher education must proactively seek change, respond scientifically, put people first, and create a new ecosystem of smart education featuring human-machine collaboration and ethics for good.

The core of seizing strategic opportunities lies in achieving a leap from pure technological application to promoting systemic education changes. It is necessary to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence into education and teaching, accelerate the development of more personalized, inclusive, flexible, creative and lifelong education, and cultivate more high-quality talents and top innovative talents; promote artificial intelligence to empower scientific research, change the scientific research paradigm, and accelerate scientific research innovation; promote artificial intelligence to empower education governance, and promote the modernization of education governance systems and governance capabilities.

The humanistic warmth and emotional connection of education can never be replaced by technology. The key to shaping a new education ecology is to adhere to the essence of education from a humanistic perspective and apply artificial intelligence with a scientific attitude. We must adhere to the principle of putting ethical standards first, be highly vigilant about algorithmic bias, pay attention to data security, formulate and improve ethical guidelines, prevent the risk of technology abuse, and avoid the expansion of the digital divide. We must always adhere to the dominant position of people and emphasize the irreplaceability of education and teachers. It is necessary to closely integrate scientific education and humanistic education, improve the level of human-machine collaboration, and ensure that technology serves the all-round development of people.
