Abstract: Based on the strategic development requirements of digital-intelligent education in the new era, combined with the core function of practical education in chemistry discipline, this paper addresses the existing problems in the construction of chemistry laboratories in current institutions of higher education, such as scattered digital-intelligent resources, insufficient integration of virtual and real experiments, low management efficiency, and weak safety control. It clarifies the core objectives and positioning of the digital-intelligent construction of chemistry laboratories, and puts forward systematic construction suggestions and implementation plans from the aspects of digital-intelligent teaching resource construction, intelligent equipment upgrading, AI-enabled safety and teaching management, construction implementation paths, and effectiveness assessment. A digital-intelligent construction system for chemistry laboratories characterized by “co-construction of resources, open sharing of achievements, integration of online and offline, combination of virtual and real, intelligent empowerment, and innovation and entrepreneurship practice education” has been constructed, which provides theoretical reference and practical basis for the digital-intelligent transformation and upgrading of chemistry laboratories in universities across the country, as well as the improvement of experimental teaching quality and talent training capacity.

Key words: Chemistry laboratory, Laboratory teaching, Digital-intelligent construction, Co-construction, Open sharing, AI empowerment
