BEIJING, March 11 (Xinhua) — Xu Kun, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said on Wednesday that as artificial intelligence (AI) changes the pace of education and restructures the role of teachers, it is necessary to guide students to use AI rationally and moderately to avoid "thinking inertia."
According to Xu Kun, who is also the president of the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword that requires a commitment to the principle of “technology for good.”
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the annual session of the CPPCC National Committee, Xu Kun described how AI is transforming the learning process, going beyond standardized teaching and taking into account the individual characteristics of students.
“From a teaching perspective, AI is changing the role of teachers,” Xu Kun noted, adding that the technology frees educators from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus more effectively on nurturing students through a learning environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking.
Xu Kun described AI as a catalyst accelerating the transformation of education and presented a vision of the future educational environment, which will increasingly become an open, accessible, and data-driven space for intellectual growth, characterized by the integration of reality and virtuality. According to him, this will overcome geographical barriers and make high-quality education accessible to all students.
However, he emphasized that while harnessing AI's potential, it's also crucial to strengthen ethical education. "We must guide students toward the appropriate and moderate use of AI to avoid inertia in their thinking," he noted.
