Amid the vigorous development of the digital economy, the digital transformation of education has become the core engine driving the high-quality development of universities, and a key measure to implement the education power strategy and cultivate innovative talents. Currently, the digitalization process of higher education still faces prominent pain points such as uneven resource allocation, rigid teaching models, single evaluation systems, and insufficient management efficiency, which restrict the improvement of education quality and connotative development. With its core advantages of powerful data processing, intelligent interaction, and personalized services, artificial intelligence (AI) technology provides a new path and technical support for solving the above problems. Based on the reality of university teaching and management, this paper focuses on the in-depth integration of AI technology and the digital transformation of higher education, systematically explores key implementation paths such as the renewal of educational concepts, the reconstruction of personalized teaching models, the optimization of refined management mechanisms, and the empowerment of precise faculty development under technology empowerment. It also deeply analyzes the core logic and practical key points in the process of technology integration, aiming to provide theoretical reference and practical insights for universities to accelerate the digital transformation of education with the help of AI technology, build a modern education system, and cultivate high-quality innovative talents adapting to the needs of the times.
