ABSTRACT: Artificial intelligence is being integrated into education with unprecedented depth, reshaping the concepts, content, methods, and evaluation of ideological and political education for adolescents. Based on current research, this paper outlines AI’s key value in enriching educational resources, innovating teaching models, improving precision in moral cultivation, refining evaluation methods, and supporting the transformation of teachers’ roles. It also analyzes major challenges, including ideological security risks, weakened educational subjectivity, data privacy and ethics, and limited technological competence. Accordingly, the paper proposes practical pathways such as strengthening value guidance, promoting human–machine collaboration, enhancing digital literacy, and improving institutional support, aiming to provide theoretical and practical guidance for integrating AI with ideological and political education in the new era.
