In order to explore the possibility of generative artificial intelligence to help the development of digital educational resources, the value coupling relationship between generative artificial intelligence and the development of digital educational resources is clarified. Issued from the theory of generative artificial intelligence, the generative artificial intelligence technology is designed with the help of generative adversarial graph convolutional network. In order to make the generative AI technology work better in the current digital education, the generative AI embedded in the digital education model is proposed, and the corresponding application effect testing program is developed. Scale testing and SPSS software are used as the main research tools to explore the research program of this paper. After the experimental intervention, compared with traditional digital education, generative AI technology is particularly prominent in improving students’ digital literacy, with P<0.05 for digital theoretical knowledge (P=0.003), digital skills (P=0.006), and learning attitudes (P=0.006), which fully verifies the prospect of the practical application of generative AI technology in digital education.
