With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, its application in education has gradually become a key driver of educational modernization. This study focuses on teachers and students from primary, secondary, and higher education institutions in Ordos City. Through questionnaire surveys, the study thoroughly analyzes the current application status, core challenges, and influencing factors of AI technology in local education, while proposing targeted countermeasures. The results indicate that although teachers and students hold positive attitudes toward AI technology, its practical application remains constrained by factors such as technical proficiency, resource allocation, and curriculum design. This study aims to provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for the sustainable development of AI education in Ordos City’s primary and secondary schools.
