Abstract
China is rapidly developing into an aging society, and traditional forms of senior education are facing development bottlenecks, including insufficient resources, a single mode, and limited outreach, which makes it challenging to meet the growing demand for senior education. The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology offers new ideas and solutions to address the challenges in senior education. Artificial intelligence can achieve personalized adaptation, support teaching, create an immersive learning experience, and optimize teaching through big data analysis, thus promoting educational equity and active aging. However, there are several challenges to the deep integration of AI and the education of older people, and China’s education for older people has also engaged with AI. In the future, we need to strengthen the top-level design further, increase financial investment, improve the curriculum system, strengthen the construction of teaching personnel, and promote the deep integration of AI technology in senior education, to create a better learning life for older people, promote the high-quality development of senior education, and promote positive aging.
