Redefining Inclusive Education: The Transformative Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Students Learning Autonomy

Educational inclusion and addressing diversity are the primary challenges facing the education sector in the 21st century. This article explores the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a supportive tool for educators working with students with Functional Diversity (FD), aiming to foster the development of autonomy in learning. It examines how AI can facilitate teaching practices in diverse classrooms and assist students with these characteristics, promoting their autonomy. The analysis suggests that AI offers significant opportunities to provide personalized support to this population by delivering immediate feedback, tailored resources, and improving teachers' classroom management. In this sense, the integration of AI can help create truly inclusive educational spaces, benefiting not only the target population but also educators and their families. However, discussions regarding the security and ethical considerations of AI in handling the personal data of the educational agents involved remain ongoing.
