Abstract: As the robust growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted all fields of human production and life, there is an inevitable trend to leverage, the reform of education for sustainable development(ESD). The logic of AI-empowered reform of ESD unfolds through the following dimensions: shaping a smart teaching model featured by multi-modal interaction, constructing a smart learning environment that achieves the virtual and real-world interactions, generating personalized and customized learning content, and building a panoramic assessment mechanism that focuses on cultivating individuals’ capacities for sustainable development. Yet three latent challenges arise in this transformative process: the alienation of humanistic values in sustainability education driven by techno-utopian ideologies, the fragmentation of impact resulting from decentralized initiatives, and the erosion of equity in educational practices due to algorithmic biases. To address these challenges, it is imperative to strengthen institutional foundations through cross-sector governance, co-design actionable pathways via multi-stakeholder collaboration, prioritize critical bottlenecks in implementation, and embed fairness and inclusiveness as core principles, thus ensuring the overall quality and effectiveness of ESD.

Key words: artificial intelligence, education for sustainable development, reform of education for sustainable development, humanistic spirit, techno-utopia
