Abstract

Though generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has achieved remarkable success across diverse fields (such as chatbots, image generation, and speech recognition), its applications in education remain limited due to the complexity of the educational system. In this paper, we analyze the opportunities and challenges of GenAI-based education for different participants, including teachers, students, and other relevant stakeholders. Based on recent research, we further propose four actionable recommendations to address existing issues, contributing to the continuous development of GenAI-based education.
