In order to further the application, research and development of artificial intelligence (AI), the Office of Science and Technology Policy of White House released two reports entitled “Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence”and “The Na-tional Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan” in October 2016. According to the reports, the AI has been playing a growing role in every area of society, among which education is an important one. Educational artificial intelligence(EAI) is a new field which combines AI with learning science. Currently, the key technologies of EAI are knowledge representation, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, intelligent agent, affective computing, etc. The development of EAI in educa-tion focuses on the intelligent tutor and assistant, intelligent evaluation, learning partner, data mining, learning analysis, etc. On this account, there is urgent need to strengthen the training of workforce of EAI at all levels, in accordance with the rapid develop-ment of AI.%为进一步引领人工智能（AI）应用与研发，美国白宫科技政策办公室于2016年10月发布了题为《为人工智能的未来做好准备》和《国家人工智能研发战略规划》两份重要报告。报告认为，人工智能技术对社会各领域的影响越来越深刻，教育是人工智能应用的一个重要领域。教育人工智能（Educational Artificial Intelligence）是人工智能与学习科学相结合的一个新领域，目前，教育人工智能的关键技术主要体现在知识的表示方法、机器学习与深度学习、自然语言处理、智能代理、情感计算等方面，其应用与发展趋势集中在智能导师与助手、智能测评、学习伙伴、数据挖掘与学习分析等领域。基此，迫切需要在各级各类教育中强化人工智能方面的人才培养，以应对人工智能的快速发展。
