How China Is Revolutionising Education Using Artificial Intelligence

In China, huge strides are already being made when it comes to integrating education students with artificial intelligence.

In July 2017, China’s highest governmental body, the State Council, introduced the Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan (NGAIDP). It was aimed at connecting AI with most parts of life in China, including healthcare, transportation, government, and education. With a plan to becoming a world leader in AI by 2030, the NGAIDP roadmap, released by the Communist Party’s powerful State Council emphasized increased education in AI at primary and middle schools. 

If we talk about education, the Chinese have been working on creating intelligent education. The Chinese government’s ambitious plan would require huge amounts of research in AI, supported by professionals trained in the technology. The Chinese government has set 2030 as the deadline to integrate AI with the Chinese infrastructure. In this regard, huge strides are already being made when it comes to educating the populace using AI. This way China is working to not only making its young population familiarise with the technology, but it is also revolutionizing how education is being imparted. According to an estimate, China led the way in over $1 billion invested globally last year in AI education. 

Start-ups Are Spearheading AI In Chinese Education Industry

The integration of AI with the education sector in China is also growing fast, particularly after the government incentivized the use of AI through tax breaks. Chinese tech startups have ramped up AI projects under the government’s support and secured funding from investors. Many of those projects have been launched in the country’s schools for creating intelligent education systems.
