AI and Inclusive Education: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), seen as a technology with the ability to perform complex tasks similar to the human brain, is emerging as a transformative tool in the field of education. It has opened new doors for learning and is making digital learning more comprehensive and excellent. AI is seen as having the potential to make learning more accessible and effective and to make it more inclusive by overcoming various learning barriers. Inclusive education, which provides equal educational opportunities to students regardless of their socio-economic status, language abilities, or disabilities, can be made more effective and widespread through AI.

In inclusive education, AI helps make education more student-centric, removes various learning barriers such as language barriers, and provides adequate support to meet the needs of students with disabilities. This ensures that all students can receive a quality education. However, while AI is significantly impacting inclusive education, some challenges remain, such as students' insufficient access to digital facilities, a lack of basic infrastructure, inadequate teacher training, and concerns related to ethics and privacy. This research paper examines the role and opportunities of AI in education to make it more inclusive. It also identifies and investigates the challenges facing AI in inclusive education.
