Abstract

The development of AI has energised society as a whole and higher education needs to reconsider the role of AI. This study explores the definition of AI literacy, examines its framework within Chinese universities by reviewing domestic and international literature, as well as the influencing factors and measures suggested. The study finds that, although AI literacy education has brought more opportunities to the development of higher education in China, there are still some challenges, including regional disparities, insufficiently targeted policies, and students' misuse of AI tools. In response, it is essential to foster students’ critical thinking skills and rethink traditional educational approaches in the AI era. Therefore, Chinese higher education leaders need to improve policies, optimise curricula, focus on students' personal development, and develop ethical standards to advance higher education. This review provides theoretical support for Chinese scholars and enriches the literature base at the intersection of AI and education.
