Technologies expected to help bolster education

President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China is willing to work with other countries in discussing issues related to artificial intelligence and innovative educational adaptations amid AI's rapid development.

AI has a profound effect on people's modes of production, daily lives and learning, Xi said in a congratulatory letter to the opening ceremony of the three-day International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Education in Beijing on Thursday.

Apart from being a key driver of technological revolution and industrial transformation, AI is also pushing societies into an intelligent age characterized by human-machine coordination, cross-disciplinary integration and joint innovation and sharing, he said.
