Zhang Qi, a ride-hailing driver based in Guangzhou, has turned to artificial intelligence this year to help his son make one of the most important decisions of his young life: choosing a university degree programme.<\/p>\n

Many middle-class families hire expensive “education consultants” to help their children pick a programme, but Zhang does not have that kind of money. Instead, he turned several Chinese AI chatbots into a “new free adviser”, he said.<\/p>\n

The bots are not as good as a human consultant, but they have still proved hugely helpful, according to Zhang. They might even allow his son – who grew up in the family hometown in northern China’s Shanxi province – to realise his dream of studying in Shenzhen, one of China’s top innovation hubs.<\/p>\n

“Before, we only knew about universities near home,” Zhang said. “Now, AI shows us which universities and majors our son’s score can get him into across the country. We’re busy making a living and can’t help our child much.”<\/p>\n

Zhang is far from alone. AI has become a major factor in this year’s university admissions process in China, with millions of families turning to chatbots for advice on the best universities and degree programmes available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
