According to AIbase, Shanghai's artificial intelligence education is deeply integrated into primary and secondary schools, building a teaching system from basic popularization to personalized development. Currently, the fourth and seventh grades have fully introduced the local curriculum "Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence", ensuring that the total number of class hours per academic year is no less than 30. On this basis, the education authorities are actively promoting the "one school, one plan" strategy, encouraging each school to develop its own curriculum based on its unique characteristics, making AI education no longer limited to a single model.

AI, Artificial Intelligence

In practical teaching, AI has become a powerful tool for interdisciplinary creation. For example, at Gezhi Junior High School, students in the AI composition class use smart tools to deconstruct musical elements and enhance their aesthetic and artistic potential through creation; while in the 3D modeling interest class, students of different grades use AI algorithms to quickly turn design blueprints into reality. This teaching method greatly reduces the technical barriers, allowing AI to truly serve students' creative expression.

This "general education + special features" educational model marks that AI has evolved from a simple computer science subject into the "foundation" empowering quality education. Through early exposure to courses, Shanghai is committed to cultivating the essential qualities needed by students in the intelligent era, making AI a universal language for students to perceive the world and solve problems, laying a solid foundation for future talent reserves.
