The Ministry of Education has unveiled comprehensive guidelines for the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in primary and secondary school education, aiming to promote AI education scientifically and systematically across all educational levels. These guidelines expressly prohibit students from directly copying AI-generated content as their homework submissions or answers, and discourage the misuse of technology in creative assignments. The guidelines advocate for tailored AI education applications based on educational stage: primary schools will focus on fostering experiences and interests, junior high schools will emphasize technical principles and problem-solving skills, and high schools will concentrate on systematic thinking and innovative applications. Concurrently, the Ministry of Education underscores the importance of nurturing students' critical thinking abilities to mitigate the risk of over-reliance on AI, which could potentially diminish independent thinking. Furthermore, the Ministry ensures privacy and data security to establish a secure and efficient new ecosystem for AI education.
