Abstract
The world is undergoing technological innovation, with the integration of artificial intelligence technology into various fields bringing about profound changes. In the field of education, major countries have raced to develop and deploy artificial intelligence, fully preparing for the digital transformation of education. This paper focuses on three main aspects: existing achievements, the brought changes, and future prospects, and deeply analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence in the education field. Taking China and the United States as examples, in the United States, K-12 education has vigorously promoted the implementation of artificial intelligence tools in basic education through means such as financial support, policy promulgation, and improving the artificial intelligence capabilities of educators. In China, the government has carried out large-scale teacher training programs on teaching methods which were related with artificial intelligence, constructed an integrated education platform for artificial intelligence to provide rich digital learning resources, and developed artificial intelligence-based education courses to cultivate students' digital literacy and innovative thinking. Nevertheless, countries around the world face many challenges, such as data privacy and security, ethical issues in the application of artificial intelligence, and the digital divide in education access. In the future, the author firmly believes that artificial intelligence will be further integrated into the education field. Countries should focus on cultivating and introducing technical talents, constructing agile and efficient governance frameworks, and adhering to the education concept of putting people at the center and using artificial intelligence as a supplement.
