# SenseTime — 商汤徐立：人工智能时代，让教育更好地回应每一个人｜中国国际教育年会 - Company: SenseTime (sensetime.com) - Announced: 2026-11-03T02:05:00+00:00 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: no - Group: routine - Source: https://www.sensetime.com/cn/news/sensetime-xu-li-ai-education-20261103-1057 - Record: https://forck.live/items/30899- - Title in English (translated by forck.live from zh): SenseTime's Xu Li: In the AI era, let education better respond to every person | China Annual Conference for International Education - Subject: SenseNova / 商汤 SenseTime chairman and CEO Xu Li used a keynote at the 27th China Annual Conference for International Education in Beijing to describe how the company's AI tools are being applied to personalized and accessible learning. Xu argued that education is a field with highly elastic demand, and that AI can move teaching beyond expanding the supply of knowledge toward responding to individual differences among learners. He showed how teachers can use SenseTime's Xiaohuanxiong Education Edition to build different lessons around a single story, turning the same material into resources suited to different grade levels and subjects. Xu also told the story of Cao Wenwei, a visually impaired educator who proposed a 'Light Bridge AI' project in a SenseTime Xiaohuanxiong challenge, using voice interaction to convert textbook content that depends on visual experience into material better suited to blind students. SenseTime says it has run AI training with Saudi Arabia's Saudi Data and AI Authority since 2022, and that the cooperation later extended to the Saudi Ministry of Education and entered local high school curricula. Xu said good AI should not replace people but amplify each person's abilities, and should help users grow rather than become dependent on it. ## Evidence Verbatim from https://www.sensetime.com/cn/news/sensetime-xu-li-ai-education-20261103-1057: > Recently, the plenary session of the 27th China Annual Conference for International Education (CACIE 2026) was held at the China National Convention Center in Beijing. > > Xu Li, Chairman and CEO of SenseTime, was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled "In the Age of AI, Let Education Better Respond to Every Individual," sharing explorations and practices of artificial intelligence in personalized teaching, accessible learning, and international education cooperation. > > As AI capabilities grow stronger, people often discuss which jobs may be replaced. Xu Li believes that technological breakthroughs can continuously respond to demands that were difficult to meet in the past, and education is precisely a field where demand is highly elastic. AI is creating new conditions for teaching students according to their aptitude, enabling more people to obtain learning support suited to them, and in this process expanding their abilities and achieving growth. > > The same story > > Opens a different classroom > > More than two thousand years ago, Confucius's disciples asked him the same question: What is benevolence? Facing different disciples, Confucius gave answers with different emphases. Xu Li believes that the essence of teaching students according to their aptitude is to provide guidance suited to students' different backgrounds, comprehension abilities, and learning progress, helping everyone achieve growth. > > But personalized teaching has always been limited by teachers' energy and educational resources. From printing to the internet, technology has continuously expanded the scope of knowledge dissemination, giving more people the opportunity to acquire knowledge. Today, AI is driving education from expanding knowledge supply further toward responding to individual differences, providing different learners with more suitable teaching content and learning methods. > > Xu Li took the familiar story "Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant" as an example to show how AI helps teachers design different teaching content around the same story. For lower-grade students, they can learn new characters and understand the story through picture books, audio, and text; for higher-grade students, they can further study classical Chinese; for middle school students, the same story can also become a starting point for exploring scientific knowledge such as buoyancy and water level changes. > > With the SenseTime Xiaohuanxiong Education Edition, teachers can, according to the teaching audience, subject knowledge points, and teaching objectives, use AI to assist in completing material collection, courseware production, and interactive content generation, transforming the same material into teaching resources suitable for different classrooms. This not only lowers the cost of personalized lesson preparation, but also allows teachers to devote more energy to instructional design and individual guidance. Students can also gain more opportunities to explore knowledge according to their own interests and level of understanding. > > A visible picture > > May also become a barrier to learning > > Around "Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant," Xu Li also shared the story of Cao Wenwei, a visually impaired person. > > Cao Wenwei once worked in special education-related work, and he found that traditional textbooks contain a large amount of content that relies on visual experience; even if converted into text or audio, it may not enable visually impaired students to truly understand. (SenseTime Jun recently also specially reported on Teacher Cao Wenwei's story; for details, please read: He cannot see the screen, yet uses AI to build a "bridge of light" for visually impaired children) > > For example, "Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant" contains this sentence: "Along the water surface, draw a line on the side of the boat." For most people, combined with the textbook illustration, this sentence is easy to understand. But for blind students who have never visually perceived the side of a boat, the water surface, or changes in water level, these seemingly simple concepts are difficult to explain clearly through text and audio alone. > > In an on-site video, Cao Wenwei said: "Many times it is not that the child cannot learn, or is unable to learn, but that we have not used the right way to pass knowledge on to these children." --- Record: https://forck.live/items/30899- Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt Current issue: https://forck.live/feed.md
