Abstract
The rapid development of artificial intelligence is profoundly reshaping the form and core of higher education, driving its comprehensive transformation towards digitalization and intelligence. This transformation is not just an upgrade of the technological system, but an all-round change of educational concepts, teaching models and governance systems, providing a historic opportunity for the high-quality development of higher education. This article focuses on the current technological trends in the development of artificial intelligence, explores the path of digital transformation in colleges and universities, and presents the problems and specific countermeasures that colleges and universities face in digital transformation in the era of artificial intelligence. It proposes strategic paths such as establishing the transformation concept of “people-oriented, digital intelligence for good”, building an AI literacy improvement system for all staff, promoting the deep integration of AI and curriculum, and building an open, secure and intelligent public digital education base, with the aim of providing theoretical references and practical guidance for the leapfrog development of higher education in China in the intelligent era.
