So, when AI compresses hours of work into a blink of an eye, a core question must be pondered: in the AI era, what abilities should future education cultivate in students? Zhou Haitao said, "The most alarming thing at present is that humans themselves give up their thinking and transfer their thinking abilities. This problem needs to be led and solved through educational reform." In the summer of 2025, the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences conducted a large-scale questionnaire survey and interviews covering 31 provinces across the country, targeting 320000 primary and secondary school students, 280000 parents, and 50000 teachers. Li Yongzhi, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the China Academy of Educational Sciences, stated that the survey results show that 99.7% of primary and secondary school students in central and western China have been exposed to AI, and 85.6% of students have used AI to complete assignments. However, there is a clear cognitive blind spot among teachers and parents - only 13.8% of teachers and 17.8% of parents believe that students generally use AI. This indicates that a large number of students are in an unsupervised and unguided state of using AI. He reminded that without the ability to reflect, people will unconsciously surrender their cognitive sovereignty. Li Yongzhi mentioned that research has found a clear polarization in students' use of AI: students with strong self-control use AI as a tool to expand their cognition, while students with weak self-control only use it as a crutch to perfunctory homework. The core variable that causes differentiation has never been family and school resources, but internal driving force. AI will never actively think about 'what makes sense', but humans can. This endogenous growth driving force is the fundamental difference between humans and AI, and also the core that education should awaken. The most core and generalizable ability in the AI era is the ability to discover and solve problems. ”Education scholar Zhao Yong said that AI can provide countless standard answers, but it can never come up with warm and valuable real questions. The value of judging a problem cannot be separated from three core questions: why is this thing valuable? How can I solve it? Why do we need to do it now? Thinking clearly about these is far more important than solving a predetermined problem. The ability to discover and solve problems is the most precious core competency of the AI era. Professor Zhou Zuoyu from the Department of Education at Beijing Normal University stated that human society has entered a new pattern of "human+AI" collaboration. Education needs to break away from the traditional logic of single ability cultivation. It is necessary to be vigilant against the worsening of social differentiation caused by the intelligence gap, continuously promote educational equity, and narrow the digital gap; We also need to break the shackles of standardized evaluation, respect the differences in students' abilities, and enable each student's strengths to be fully developed.
