With the continuous development of our society, the education community has also put forward a series of new requirements that align with the current era.  Among them, in the teaching activities of kindergarten teachers, the effective reference of information technology is conducive to teachers guiding children to participate in learning, helping teachers to create a good teaching environment by means of information technology, and helping to expand children's vision and develop children's intelligence. However, at present, some kindergarten teachers in our country do not have information technology literacy, which hinders the growth of children. Therefore, this paper focuses on the cultivation of information technology literacy among kindergarten teachers in the new era.

With the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, rural wisdom pension gradually becomes an important direction for the development of rural society. The purpose of this paper is to study the optimization path of rural smart pension in the context of rural revitalization. By analyzing the definition, development status and dilemma of rural wisdom pension, key factors for optimizing rural wisdom pension are proposed, and the paths for enhancing rural wisdom pension are discussed. The research results show that strengthening infrastructure construction, improving service quality, and promoting information technology application are the key paths to realize rural smart aging. This study provides theoretical guidance and policy recommendations for the implementation of rural smart aging.

Under the developing trend of artificial intelligence (AI) technology gradually penetrating all aspects of society, the traditional language education industry is also greatly affected ^[1]. AI technology has had a positive impact on college English teaching, but it also presents challenges and negative impacts. On the positive side, AI technology can provide personalized learning experiences, real-time feedback, and autonomous learning opportunities, and so on. However, it may also lead to a lack of communication between students and humans, resulting in a decline in students’ interpersonal skills, and cause students’ dependence on online learning resources as well as possible risks to student data privacy and security, and other negative impacts. To address these challenges, teachers can adopt the following countermeasures: improving teachers’ skills in the use of AI technology incorporated in the classroom, offering personalized instruction to reduce students’ dependence on AI technologies, emphasizing the cultivation of students’ humanistic literacy and interpersonal communication ability. Additionally, colleges and technology providers should strengthen data security and privacy protection to ensure the safety and confidentiality of student data. By implementing comprehensive measures, we can maximize the advantages of AI technology in college English teaching while overcoming potential issues and challenges.

The failure to achieve sustainable development in South Africa is due to the inability to deliver quality and adequate health services that would lead to the achievement of sustainable human security. As we live in an era of digital technology, Machine Learning (ML) has not yet permeated the healthcare sector in South Africa. Its effects on promoting quality health services for sustainable human security have not attracted much academic attention in South Africa and across the African continent. Hospitals still face numerous challenges that have hindered achieving adequate health services. For this reason, the healthcare sector in South Africa continues to suffer from numerous challenges, including inadequate finances, poor governance, long waiting times, shortages of medical staff, and poor medical record keeping. These challenges have affected health services provision and thus pose threats to the achievement of sustainable security. The paper found that ML technology enables adequate health services that alleviate disease burden and thus lead to sustainable human security. It speeds up medical treatment, enabling medical workers to deliver health services accurately and reducing the financial cost of medical treatments. ML assists in the prevention of pandemic outbreaks and as well as monitoring their potential epidemic outbreaks. It protects and keeps medical records and makes them readily available when patients visit any hospital. The paper used a qualitative research design that used an exploratory approach to collect and analyse data.
