ABSTRACT

As a strategic technology leading a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is profoundly reshaping social structures and modes of production and everyday life, while also providing new pathways for the digital transformation of higher education. This paper aims to systematically examine how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) enables the deep transformation of smart learning spaces in universities. From the five dimensions of infrastructure, resource patterns, interaction patterns, assessment patterns, and governance patterns, it conducts a comprehensive analysis of the new patterns of smart learning spaces empowered by GenAI and outlines a future learning vision characterized by a high degree of personalization, deep interaction, precise services, and human–AI collaboration. The aim is to provide theoretical guidance for universities to construct learner-centered next-generation smart learning spaces in the era of intelligence.
