Higher education in the new era takes fostering virtue through education as its core, and sets clear requirements for the high-quality development of ideological and political education in college English courses. At present, such education is plagued by problems of short-term orientation, fragmentation and homogeneity. The integration of ideological and political elements into language teaching is rigid, personalized resources are insufficient, and the effectiveness of education is hard to quantify or sustainably guarantee. Based on theories of technology-enabled education, constructivism and educational ecosystem, this study deeply integrates artificial intelligence into the whole process of ideological and political education, constructs a long-term mechanism featuring precise integration, dynamic evaluation and continuous iteration, builds an intelligent resource ecosystem and an integrated evaluation model to break through bottlenecks. Practices show that AI empowerment can promote normalized education, provide a replicable paradigm for the digital transformation of ideological and political education in universities, and help cultivate a new generation with patriotism and cross-cultural competence.
