Rather than making an either-or binary judgment, this study takes “conditional efficacy” as its core analytical perspective. It disentangles the operating logic and preconditions of AI-assisted resource development from three levels—the efficiency mechanism, the adaptation mechanism, and the human–AI collaboration structure—and examines actual educational outcomes and limitations across three dimensions: resource supply, student participation, and teacher development. It then sorts out the generative logic and potential risks of cognitive, value, and ethical boundaries, and finally proposes a systematic governance path that regulates efficacy through boundaries, providing a practical framework for college English teachers to use AI in developing curriculum-based ideological and political education resources in a standardized and efficient manner.Generative artificial intelligence,College English,Curriculum-based ideological and political education,Resource development,Application boundaries
