July 26 – The School of Computer & Information Engineering was invited to the closed-door education industry session of the Corpora Forum at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2025) in Shanghai. Dean Zhang Bofeng delivered a keynote entitled “AI Reshaping Education”.

He argued that AI + Education means leveraging artificial intelligence to assist instruction, administration, assessment and feedback, thereby delivering more efficient and personalized educational services. Empowering education with AI is not confined to technical deployment; it represents a transformation of educational philosophy and models, requiring educators to renew their pedagogical outlook and upgrade their information literacy to meet the demands of a new educational paradigm.
