Digital Scenarios and AI Empowerment: The Transformation and Innovation of International Exchanges in Chinese Universities

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the global wave of internationalization in higher education and the post-pandemic era, Chinese universities are actively leveraging digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape international communication models. This article systematically reviews the innovative practices of Chinese universities in expanding international cooperation through digital scenarios, deeply analyzes the transformative impact of AI technology on international joint training programs, and based on the background of the post-pandemic era, explores how AI can more effectively serve the internationalization strategies of universities. Combining current actual cases for analysis, this article summarizes and generalizes the existing problems and puts forward reasonable suggestions. The findings reveal the current practical challenges such as the technological gap and ethical risks that exist in AI-empowered international education. This article also proposes the construction path of the "AI+ International Education" ecosystem from the dimensions of policy coordination, technology adaptation, and talent cultivation, providing forward-looking ideas and practical references for global higher education institutions to deepen international cooperation by leveraging AI in the post-pandemic era.
