Abstract: The rapid development of a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major transformative force in the fourth industrial revolution, not only profoundly changing the way people live, but also posing unprecedented ethical challenges to social development. The study and education of AI ethics should both focus on the academic nature and applicability and on the political, historical, social and value aspects of AI as technological progress. Based on the Marxist viewpoint and methodology, this paper will help develop the leading role of ideological and political theory courses on frontier issues and integrate AI ethics education into teaching activities precisely to build an AI ethics education system with Chinese characteristics, which make college students further strengthen their ideological stance on AI ethics and build the ethics on the basis of Marxist scientific worldview and methodology in order to realize the harmonious development of human, AI, society and nature. 

Key words: artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence ethics education, ideological and political theory courses, Chinese characteristics
