Abstract

This paper examines the integration and application of artificial intelligence (AI) in open education, analyzing policy support, technological innovation, and demand-driven opportunities. It clarifies the pedagogical connotations and essence of "AI + education." After a thorough review of current integration efforts, the study identifies key challenges: limited human–machine collaborative teaching, insufficient deep understanding of learning resources, teachers' adaptive difficulties, and risks to data security and privacy. Looking forward, the paper insists that technology must serve teaching and learning, uphold the fundamental nature of education, foster a holistic development mindset, and accurately recognize AI's objective attributes. On the path of integration, we should embrace opportunities while prudently addressing challenges, anticipating a new chapter in education jointly written by AI technology and open education.
