The prospect of digital intelligence technology empowering high - quality development of education is promising, but there are certain limits. Rational reflection on the limits of digital intelligence to empower high - quality development of education is an important guarantee for high - quality development of education. The study clarifies the threefold value of digital intelligence - enabled education: the educational concept of synergy and symbiosis, the educational model of return to the original position, and the educa? tional relationship of deep interaction. The limitations are mainly reflected in the limitations of human beings at the subject level, which constrain the value of technology, the lack of intelligence at the technical level, which undermines the effectiveness of education, the grafting conflicts at the structural level, which constrain the ecological application, and the ethical level, which gives rise to the risk of ‘seducing the driver’ by the synergy between human and technology. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the growth rhythm of the main body of education, strengthen the orientation of the main body of technology development and application, change the organisational structure of education and teaching, and build the ethical code of human - technology synergy, in order to contribute to the high - qual? ity development of education empowered by digital intelligence.
