He said that ChatGPT, DeepSeek and other AI Large ModelEssentially a toolThe purpose of AI, like any other technological tool, is to facilitate human learning and work. But some teachers may misunderstand or even resist AI because they themselves are not yet comfortable with it. "As a teacher, you can't stop students from learning new things. Just like many parents don't understand whether their children should play cell phones or games. Rigidly preventing it often doesn't solve the problem, and sooner or later he will play. Parents should teach their children to have self-control when they play with cell phones, that's the most important thing."

Teachers need to rethink how to assign homework and how to conduct exams during the teaching process, as traditional teaching and assessment methods may no longer be applicable in the age of AI.
He noted that big modeling tools such as DeepSeek, ChatGPTNever existed."Overuse". And to prevent the misuse of AI, it is necessary to have the ability to use AI to solve problems, the ability to distinguish between true and false information, and the ability to control the time of use.

Comprehensive 1AI previously reported that in November last year, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Strengthening Artificial Intelligence Education in Primary and Secondary Schools, proposing to strengthen top-level design and departmental synergy, and basically popularize AI education in primary and secondary schools by 2030.
In May of this year, the Ministry of Education also proposed that, at the elementary school level, students are prohibited from using the open content generation function on their own, and teachers can use it appropriately to support teaching and learning within the classroom; at the junior high school level, they can moderately explore the logical analysis of generated content; and at the senior high school level, they are permitted to carry out inquiry learning in combination with the principles of the technology. Different users, such as students, teachers and education administrators, can choose the most suitable implementation mode according to their actual needs, taking into account the maturity of the technology, the complexity of the task and the characteristics of local resources.
