By August 1, schools participating in the pilot project must be equipped with the necessary technology and stable high-speed internet. The decree also provides for the use of recommendations aimed at reducing the gap in the quality of education between urban and rural schools. These recommendations come from a member of the AI Development Council, a non-staff advisor to the Head of State, and CEO of Sinovation Ventures and 01.AI Kai-Fu Lee. By September 1, standards for the use of AI in the country’s secondary education system will be approved.

the education efforts in the country, in both higher ed as well as K-12. And I
made some suggestions on other things that could be done. And if they can be
implemented, I’ll
be coming over to work on it myself,» noted Kai-Fu Lee, CEO of Sinovation Ventures and
