AI Empowerment in Regional Universities: Constructing the “AI+1234” Talent Development Framework

Against the backdrop of a new wave of technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly reshaping the higher education ecosystem. As the main institutions for regional talent development, regional applied universities urgently need to explore intelligent teaching reform pathways tailored to their unique characteristics. This study constructs the “AI+1234” integrated education framework under AI empowerment, systematically exploring the deep integration mechanism between AI technology and the “1234 talent development model.” It develops a five-dimensional collaborative implementation method: “Team–Curriculum–Resources–Community–Think Tank”—providing regional applied universities with a replicable and scalable intelligent transformation pathway. This framework offers a new paradigm for cultivating applied talents that meet the demands of the intelligent era.
