Abstract

In the context of rural education facing challenges such as uneven development, scarcity of quality resources, and difficulties in personalized teaching that severely hinder the improvement of educational quality and the progress of rural revitalization, the emergence of artificial intelligence technology has provided a new solution to these issues. However, an in-depth exploration of AI applications in rural education reveals that its advancement is not without obstacles but faces multiple challenges including weak infrastructure, insufficient teacher capabilities, and difficulties in data privacy protection. Although the study does not specify particular research methods, it is inferred that discussions were conducted through comprehensive analysis of current conditions in relevant fields and case studies. The comprehensive research concludes that to effectively empower rural education with AI and promote its transformation towards intelligent and balanced development, it is essential to establish a systematic project involving multi-stakeholder collaboration. Government, enterprises, schools, and teachers must form a synergy and work together.
