The Application of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Chinese Higher Education: Opportunities, Risks, and Countermeasures

Abstract

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence, with low cost barriers to use, has accelerated its integration with higher education and is affecting the talent cultivation planning of universities. It has put forward new requirements for higher education practitioners, indicating that higher education will become a cradle for guiding and cultivating new talents. In this context, the article explores the essence and role positioning of generative artificial intelligence in the field of higher education. From short-term impact to long-term impact, it explains the current situation and crisis of the application of generative artificial intelligence in the field of higher education. Drawing on existing domestic and international experience, the article proposes a talent positioning for cultivating the "three in one" role based on the current situation of higher education and the potential development of generative artificial intelligence in the future. It constructs an educational ecosystem with generative artificial intelligence as a bridge and schools, society, and families as the core, providing reference for promoting high-quality development of higher education in China and cultivating new talents in the era of artificial intelligence.
