In today's dynamic educational landscape, integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology presents opportunities and challenges for educators, especially undergraduates. Emotional Intelligence (EI) is crucial in the AI age, impacting resilience (RI). However, the relationship between RI and EI among undergraduates is under explored. This study investigates this relationship among Chinese undergraduates, examining EI's significance amidst AI integration. Surveying 420 undergraduates from X University, China, using 2 questionnaires and PLS-SEM analysis, the study reveals high EI levels, particularly in emotional regulation, and a positive relationship between RI and EI. Findings stress the importance of socio-emotional skills in navigating AI-driven education.
