Abstract

This study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) empowers the internationalization of vocational education, providing new theoretical foundations and practical directions for global integration and enhancement. By systematically reviewing existing literature and employing literature analysis and theoretical construction methods, the research explores AI's potential applications within global vocational education systems and its profound impact on educational models, teaching methods, and content. Findings indicate that AI technology not only enhances teaching efficiency through intelligent tools and platforms but also transcends national boundaries, facilitating cross-cultural knowledge sharing and cooperation, thereby promoting the unification and elevation of global vocational education standards. The study analyzes AI's specific applications in various aspects of vocational education, including intelligent curriculum design, personalized learning pathways, and remote education platforms, followed by discussions on the challenges and opportunities AI presents for the internationalization of vocational education, such as data privacy protection, insufficient qualified educators, and non-unified technical standards. Finally, the paper proposes several theoretical models and implementation strategies for AI-empowered internationalization of vocational education, recommending that vocational education institutions focus on the integration of technology and education. Measures such as strengthening international cooperation, optimizing resource allocation, and establishing diversified evaluation systems are suggested to achieve leapfrogging development in vocational education. The conclusions indicate that AI holds revolutionary potential as a driving force for the internationalization of vocational education, though its application requires overcoming multiple barriers related to technological ethics and cultural adaptation to create a more equitable and efficient educational ecosystem.
