Under the background that artificial intelligence has quietly entered thousands of households, it is extremely urgent to carry out artificial intelligence education. The New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan clearly points out that artificial intelligence has become the new focus of international competition, and it is necessary to extensively carry out artificial intelligence science popularization activities, implement national intelligent education projects, set artificial intelligence-related courses in primary and secondary schools, and gradually promote programming education. Its purpose is to let students know about the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology around them, realize the great role played by artificial intelligence technology, form intelligent consciousness, establish lofty ideals, and become builders and successors of intelligent society.
