Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the field of education is undergoing a profound digital transformation. As a core course for cultivating international talents, intercultural communication courses are confronted with multiple challenges, including innovation in teaching models, integration of technological applications, and transformation of competency cultivation. This paper systematically reviews domestic and foreign research literature on AI‑enabled intercultural communication teaching published from 2023 to 2026. From the dimensions of theoretical foundation, technological application, innovative teaching models, reform of evaluation systems, and existing challenges, it summarizes the current research status and development trends of digital teaching reform, aiming to provide references for the high-quality development of intercultural communication courses in universities.
