【Abstract】In the swiftly changing realm of education, technology serves as a key instrument in transforming the methods of teaching, learning experiences, and educational outcomes. Legal and governance issues, integral to maintaining order and justice in societies, are equally pertinent in the realm of education. The digital age introduces concerns like cybersecurity, data protection, and the need for adaptive cybercrime legislation, all of which intersect with the integration of technology in education. As technology advances, legal frameworks must adapt to regulate emerging technologies within educational settings. A collaborative effort is essential to address these issues, requiring continuous review and adaptation of legal frameworks to meet evolving challenges. This research explores the complex aspects of the legal and governance challenges emerging from the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data (BD), and Blockchain (BC) technologies and their influence on education. Employing a quantitative research approach, data were gathered from a diverse pool of 347 professionals, including legal experts, cybersecurity specialists, and AI researchers in China. The research methodology integrated SPSS and Smart PLS3 for robust statistical analysis. The findings illuminate legal challenges, regulatory gaps, ethical concerns, and emphasize the pivotal roles of cross-border collaboration and adaptive regulatory approaches in navigating the complexities of converging technologies. The novelty of this study is rooted in its thorough investigation of the complex legal and governance aspects related to the merging of AI, BD, and BC. This research contributes to both advancing academic understanding and offering practical applications for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers engaged in shaping the regulatory landscape of these transformative technologies.
