Abstract: This study focuses on investigating the service condition and current opinion regarding the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in Chinese education. A method of questionnaire is applied. The results indicate an inspiring information that, although the majority of the participants use the AI-based educational application only for some occasions, they are satisfied with it, and consider the future of these applications optimistically. Furthermore, they regard these applications as supplements to the traditional Chinese education. This study suggests that there is a solid foundation for the organisations to promote the application of AI in Chinese education in a large scale by utilising a combination of adaptive learning techniques, and the K12-type MOOCs. After reaching full AI coverage in Chinese education, equity can be finally achieved.

Keywords: artificial intelligence; AI-based educational application; K12-type MOOCS; equity in education; China.
