ABSTRACT

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the talent cultivation model in higher education. As the main arena for cultivating innovative talents, universities are undergoing a profound transformation—from knowledge transmission to intelligent guidance, from standardized teaching to personalized learning, and from one-way instruction to multi-dimensional interaction. Based on the digital transformation of education empowered by AI, this paper systematically analyzes the current dilemmas in higher education talent cultivation, including insufficient digital literacy among teachers, weak personalized learning support for students, and lack of effective interaction and feedback mechanisms. It further explores the opportunities and ethical challenges brought by AI, and proposes transformation paths for building an intelligent talent cultivation system: enhancing teachers' AI-enabled teaching capacity, constructing intelligent learning support systems, and innovating educational governance mechanisms. The study provides theoretical and practical insights for universities to cope with educational transformation in the AI era.
