With the AI craze caused by ChatGPT sweeping the world, AI applications that are more and more understanding and resembling people are beginning to bloom everywhere, but it also brings a series of problems of using AI technology to confuse the real with the real. The academic training in current higher education is also facing new challenges brought about by this technological transformation. The French degree system is a basic education system in China, which is related to the degree system, subject development, talent evaluation standards, and is the cornerstone of high-quality development of higher education. The current degree regulations in China were formulated in 1980. With the development of China's economy and society and the reform and innovation of higher education, it is necessary to establish a degree law based on the current degree regulations to provide strong legal protection for regulating degree awarding activities. The draft of the Degree Law submitted for review is in line with the development direction and practical requirements of higher education reform, with provisions made around improving the degree management system, refining and clarifying the conditions and procedures for degree awarding. The draft consists of 7 chapters and 40 articles, including general provisions, degree management system, acquisition of degree granting rights, degree granting conditions, degree granting procedures, degree quality assurance and supervision, and supplementary provisions.

Fu Jian, Director of Henan Zejin Law Firm at the Boundary, believes that in the field of knowledge originality, artificial intelligence is only suitable as an auxiliary work. Although it can already create secondary works on existing materials, it lacks human unique ideological consciousness, so it may not be able to provide leapfrog assistance in the field of innovation. The boundary of utilizing artificial intelligence lies in the fact that the core part of knowledge innovation should not be caused by the secondary creation of artificial intelligence, Should possess the ideas and consciousness of the creator. At the same time, ChatGPT and other applications are emerging research tools that can significantly improve the efficiency of scientific research in many fields, such as data analysis. Therefore, in the face of this inevitable technological trend, it is necessary to clarify how to use it and establish a boundary between AI assistance and AI ghostwriting. "Liu Dongjin further said.
