Abstract

This study investigates the strategic use of artificial intelligence (AI) to provide an inclusive environment for students with impairments in higher education. The paper examines AI-driven inclusivity's possible advantages and disadvantages by examining AI applications including automatic accessibility tools, adaptive learning platforms, and customized support systems. The results provide a basis for institutions to use AI to improve educational fairness by highlighting both encouraging results and opportunities for development.
