Abstract

This research employs CiteSpace to carry out visual analysis for the application of AI in higher education, aiming to reveal research hotspots, frontiers and development trends. Using the CNKI database as the data source, this paper constructs a Knowledge Graph and explores the current research state and future direction of higher education assessment and AI application deeply. The results show that AI technology significantly impacts core educational fields, reshaping the structures, processes, and objectives of modern education. The preliminary achievements of integration of higher education and AI are realized but the intelligent teaching systems and educational governance still need to be further explored. The research identifies three main hotspots of AI-driven personalized learning, digital transformation of education, and post-pandemic online education development. Future research should focus on advancing the wide application of intelligent teaching systems and more efficient and innovative educational models.
