In China, parents turn to AI to help children select a university degree

In China, parents like Zhang Qi are using artificial intelligence tools to assist their children in selecting university degree programs. With the high stakes of the national university entrance exams, many families struggle to afford traditional education consultants. Zhang, a ride-hailing driver in Guangzhou, relies on AI chatbots to navigate the complex admissions system and explore opportunities beyond their local area, such as studying in Shenzhen. These AI tools provide cost-effective guidance, helping students match their scores with suitable programs nationwide. This trend reflects a growing reliance on technology in educational decision-making, particularly among middle-class families with limited financial resources.
