| Abstract: | Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant importance as a driving force behind scientific, technological, and economic advancement. The pressing and formidable task at hand is the cultivation of talent that can adapt to the demands of an intelligent society. The metaverse emerges as a simulated holographic environment, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge information technologies including augmented reality, AI, blockchain, digital twins, and brain-computer interfaces. This integration equips educators with limitless knowledge resources and practical application scenarios, providing crucial support for the digital transformation of education and presenting enormous potential for the advancement of AI education. Nonetheless, the metaverse also presents numerous challenges in the context of AI education development. Unleashing the potential of the education metaverse and managing associated risks necessitate comprehensive integration of diverse technologies and regulations. To elucidate its conceptual framework, this paper critically examines the theoretical underpinnings of the education metaverse from the perspective of AI education. The examination encompasses discussions on the concept system, impact on AI education, case analyses, existing issues, and challenges. The overarching objective is to deliver a lucid, comprehensive analysis that fosters a deeper understanding of the education metaverse. |
