## 4 Empirical Analysis  
### Analysis of Network Attention of \"Artificial Intelligence + Education\"  
#### 4.1.1 Annual Difference Analysis  
In recent years, how to think about and innovate education in the era of artificial intelligence has become the direction and topic of continuous exploration under the new education model. With the development of information technology, the public's attention to the intelligent education mode on the Internet also shows an obvious upward trend. Figure 1 is the annual average value of the Baidu search index with \"AI + education\" as the keywords, reflecting the evolution trend of the public's online attention to the integrated development of AI and education in Guizhou province and 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China from 2013 to 2020. Figure 1 shows three important pieces of information:  
1. From 2013 to 2017, the public's online attention to the development of intelligent education was on the rise, indicating that the integration of artificial intelligence and education in China was in a period of rapid development. Especially from 2016 to 2017, the search index curve of the whole country and Guizhou province was relatively steep, with an increase of 46.8% and 23.1%, respectively. The main reason for this phenomenon was that \"artificial intelligence\" was written into the 13 th Five-Year Plan in 2016, and the concept of artificial intelligence was included in the major projects of the 13 th Five-Year Plan. The National Development and Reform Commission stressed the need to build an \"Internet +\" innovation network to promote the integration of information technology with various fields and industries, promoting the development of artificial intelligence technology. More people are paying attention to the contents of the 13 th Five-Year Plan. The promulgate of the policies of the 13 th Five-Year Plan has increased the public's attention to the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology. 2. From 2017 to 2020, the public's network attention to the development of intelligent education remained stable, which to some extent reflects that the integrated development of artificial intelligence and education in all regions of China has entered a stable period. During the 13 th Five-Year Plan period of Guizhou province, the \"artificial intelligence and education\" network has attracted more attention because Guizhou province proposed the following in the 13 th Five-Year Plan for education development: building a Guizhou intelligent education cloud platform by 2020 to achieve the goal of broadband networks for schools, high-quality resources for all classes, and network learning spaces for everyone [33]. The \"Big Data +\" education project has been gradually promoted in the province's education field, pushing Guizhou's education development onto the track of intellectualization;
3. Compared with the national average search index value, there was still a partial gap in Guizhou. The urban development in the eastern and western regions of China was not synchronous and unbalanced, while the development in the western region was a little slow due to geographical structure, natural conditions, and traffic. According to GDP statistics in the first quarter of 2020, Guizhou ranked 20 th, higher than the previous ranking but still lagging behind the national average. Economic development, to a certain extent, determines the speed and scale of the development of science, technology, and education, and then it affects the public's attention to relevant fields. Based on this, the elasticity coefficient was introduced to analyze the annual difference of public attention in Guizhou province. Figure 2 reflects the elasticity coefficient of the
