## 4 Empirical Analysis
### Analysis of Network Attention of \"Artificial Intelligence + Education\"
#### 4.1.2 Analysis of Regional Differences  
Guizhou province is located in the hinterland of Southwest China, bordering Chongqing, Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, and Guangxi, and it is the transportation hub of Southwest China. Guizhou governs six prefecture-level cities and three autonomous prefectures (Figure 3). Figure 2: Change trend of the elasticity coefficient of attention of “AI + education” in Guizhou province from 2014 to 2019. Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou province, is located in the central part of the province. Zunyi has the largest area under its jurisdiction. Anshun has the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall, and its future development is unlimited. According to the permanent resident population statistics of Guizhou in 2019 [31], from the perspective of cities (prefectures), Bijie has the largest permanent resident population, with a total of 6,714,300 people. Zunyi follows this with a permanent population of 6.302 million. Guiyang ranks third with a permanent population of 4,971,400. The permanent resident population of Bijie, Zunyi, and Guiyang accounts for 49.6% of the province. According to the sixth census, Guizhou has 54 ethnic groups, among which ethnic minorities account for 36.11 percent of the population. The number of the ethnic minority population is distributed in southeast Guizhou, Tongren, south Guizhou, Bijie, southwest Guizhou, Anshun, Liupanshui, Guiyang, and Zunyi in order. For thousands of years, all ethnic groups have lived in harmony and jointly created a colorful Guizhou culture. In recent years, all cities and prefectures in Guizhou province have actively responded to national policies, innovated education models, and vigorously promoted the introduction of artificial intelligence into classrooms to improve the quality of teaching. In this paper, the Baidu search index of prefecture-level cities and autonomous prefectures in Guizhou province from 2013 to 2020 was examined by taking the city (prefecture) as the unit and using \"artificial intelligence + education\" as the keyword (Figure 4). Figure 4: The mean change trend of “AI + education” network attention in various cities (prefectures) of Guizhou province from 2013 to 2020. Figure 3: Geographical location distribution map of various cities (prefectures) in Guizhou province. As can be seen from Figure 4:  
1. From 2013 to 2020, Guiyang and Zunyi had the highest overall ranking of network attention of \"artificial intelligence + education\", which were mainly concentrated in areas with good economic development and large populations. According to the statistics of various cities (prefectures) in Guizhou province from 2015 to 2019, the GDPs of Guiyang and Zunyi remained the top two, and the permanent resident populations also ranked in the top three for five consecutive years [31]. To a certain extent, steady economic growth can promote the integration of science and technology with education and teaching, in addition to accelerating the construction of a powerful country in education;
2. The promotion of the reform of an intelligent education mode was more obvious in the stage of higher education. [PERSON] et al. [19] emphasized that in the era of \"artificial intelligence + education\", the teaching process in colleges and universities should be deeply integrated with artificial intelligence technology, and artificial intelligence should be used to help students gain educational happiness and liberate the productivity of teaching and learning. According to statistics, there are higher education schools in Guiyang and Zunyi. The implementation of this education and teaching process will also increase the public's attention to relevant information, such as intelligent marking systems, online education, intelligent robots, children's programming, and other aspects;
3. The Internet attention to \"AI + education\" in all cities (prefectures) showed a general trend of a slow rise.
