As China advances the development of new-quality productive forces, international experts have begun to wonder what changes it will bring to the educational sector.

In response to Dr. Helmy's question, Yin Ximing, associate researcher at the School of Management at Beijing Institute of Technology, gave several instances of AI-facilitated practices in the area, including advanced remote education, more efficient pre-course preparation, and intelligent recommendations of universities and programs for applicant during college admission.

Yin believes that the flexible and comprehensive application of AI technologies in various scenarios can improve the quality and efficiency of education, narrow the educational gap between regions, and eventually promote educational equity. (Lin Zhuowei and Xue Lingqiao)
