Abstract
Education is an ancient yet young science. With the advent of generative artificial intelligence, education should also become vibrant. However, it also poses a huge challenge to the original logic of the education field. Currently, we should be courageous to enrich educational content, innovate educational methods and make the teaching process intelligent, seizing these opportunities; at the same time, we also need to deeply reflect on the challenges that arise in this process, such as “blurring content information ethics and data bias”, “affecting teachers’ emotional interaction and technological cognition”, and “inhibiting students’ independent thinking and critical thinking”. In conclusion, we should conceive and construct an educational resource governance system of “human-machine collaboration and teacher dominance”, implement a teacher professional development plan of “two-way empowerment and role evolution”, and design a new hybrid teaching paradigm of “thinking-oriented and technology-utilized”, so as to adapt to the new educational ecosystem characterized by the era of generative intelligence.
