Abstract:The "AI+" initiative was first incorporated into the 2024 Chinese Government Work Report. In this context, vocational colleges still face challenges in cultivating technical and skilled talents who possess both professional skills and innovative abilities. Based on the national, social, and enterprise levels, we explore the convergence points between "AI+" and the cultivation of innovative talents in vocational colleges. We analyze the difficulties in empowering the cultivation of innovative talents through "AI+", and propose development strategies from five aspects: the construction of education ecology, the improvement of curriculum system, the integration of specialty and innovation reform, the construction of teacher capital team, and the optimization of evaluation system. We are committed to promoting the optimization of innovative talent cultivation models in vocational colleges and injecting strong impetus into China's high-quality development.
