Abstract: The application and practice of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the general education course of gemmology in higher education aims to address the challenges faced by traditional gemmology teaching, enhance course effectiveness, and improve students' learning experience. Based on an analysis of the main issues encountered in teaching jewelry and gemmology-related general education courses, this study explores the specific applications of AI technology in gemmology courses, including digital resource development, knowledge graph construction, and AI-based personalized learning and teaching evaluation practices. It also discusses the potential and limitations of AI in gemmology education and proposes that future applications should focus on the organic integration of technology and subject content, strengthen the cultivation of students' critical thinking, adhere to educational ethics, and ensure that technology supports teaching without replacing the importance of traditional cultural education.
