In today's rapidly advancing technology landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is infiltrating various aspects of our lives at an unprecedented speed. However, the application of this new technology in the field of education has sparked a controversy, and a case in Hingham, Massachusetts is a typical example. The protagonists of the incident are a senior student at Hingham High School. According to his mother, Jennifer Harris, her son used AI to gather research materials and create an outline while working on a group project with a classmate.

Educational technology company NetEase Youdao unveiled the country's first educational large model 'Zi Yue' Version 2.0 at a launch event on January 3. The company also introduced three innovative applications developed based on the large model and a new smart hardware product. The most notable is the AI home tutor 'Little P Teacher', which provides students with question-and-answer support across all grades and subjects, and stimulates children's thinking through interactive communication. Youdao also launched the virtual oral English tutor Hi Echo 2.0 and Youdao Speed Reading, aimed at helping students improve their English speaking skills and quickly comprehend documents.
