Abstract:
In the wave of artificial intelligence sweeping the globe, physical education is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Using methods such as literature review and logical analysis, this study aims to investigate the limitations and resolution strategies of artificial intelligence in empowering physical education. The ideal scenario of empowering physical education with artificial intelligence lies in building a deep integrated ecosystem centered on people and supported by technology. However, in the process of its deep involvement in physical education, the inherent tension between the technological tool of artificial intelligence and the humanistic nature of education has also given rise to multiple crises including the embodied dissolution in the sports practice dimension, the weakening of the subjectivity in the educational relationship dimension, and the alienation of the educational essence in the value realization dimension. The core value of physical education lies not in producing standardized sports data, but in achieving the integrated development of "body-mind-environment" through the interaction of body, emotion, and context. Its irreducibility is highlighted by three essential characteristics: physical practicality, emotional interaction, and situational generation. Hence the resolution strategies are proposed for empowering physical education with artificial intelligence: to clarify auxiliary boundaries and construct a functional limit system for artificial intelligence applications; to innovate design paradigms and develop personalized intelligent technology systems; to standardize teaching practices and establish operational boundary standards for human-machine collaboration; and to improve institutional safeguards and innovate the regulatory tool system with sports characteristics.
