Abstract
With the advancements of technology and the mobility of information and population, the number of bilingual children is greater nowadays than that in previous days. The education modes for them have also seen great changes in the age of Artificial Intelligence. AI technologies, emerging as one of the most significant impetus for the change of the world in the 21st century, have greatly altered the previous situation of education in all regions of the world. In this paper, the author firstly presents the current situations of both AI technologies and bilingual children. Then the ways AI can be integrated into the education for bilingual children have been discussed from the perspectives of bilingual children themselves, their families and schools. In spite of the benefits AI has brought to education, challenges are also noticeable at the same time. Therefore, external factors in technological and educational aspects and internal factors in psychological, physical and emotional areas should be carefully taken into consideration in the education for bilingual children.
