Policy Analysis of Educational Missions and Tactics in the EU Artificial Intelligence Strategy in the Era of Digital Transformation

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, AI, cloud computing, big data, blockchain, and other intelligent technologies have increasingly profound impacts on work, study, life, and especially education. The Publishing of The Age of Artificial Intelligence: Towards a European Strategy for Human-Centric Machines marked the official launch of the EU Artificial Intelligence Strategy. By analyzing policy documents published during 2018 and 2022 for the EU Artificial Intelligence Strategy, itsss is found that the strategy has set three strategic goals, namely achieving an "Ecosystem of Excellence", building an "Ecosystem of Trust", and establishing an "Ecosystem of Digital Education". To ensure its implementation, the European Commission has published a series of policy documents successively. As the main driver of the AI strategy, education plays an important role in the development of AI, and the EU has adopted various education tactics in the series of documents. Given the particularity of the EU as a regional cooperation organization, this strategy values philosophy, norms, and cooperation. It also provides a good reference for AI development and digital transformation of society in other countries and brings new opportunities for international cooperation in the field of AI.
