Reflections on the Implications of Artificial Intelligence in Inclusive Education

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming a technological tool increasingly used in everyday life and presents itself as a means of improving people's social participation. However, its use raises countless issues related to ethics, transparency or data privacy. Leaving aside the interdisciplinary issues of the ethics of Artificial Intelligence, it is considered important to underline the potential of this technology in improving teaching action. Therefore, the purpose of this reflection is to consider the strengths of the use of Artificial Intelligence in the didactic practice of teaching and learning. In fact, these technological tools, if adopted in a constructive way, could become powerful allies in teaching interaction. For this reason, some teaching research is evaluating chatbot technology as a tool to improve the teaching experience. Chatbots, in fact, provide immediate answers to disciplinary questions and several studies suggest that adopting this technology in the classroom would offer students a more personalized, engaging and accessible learning environment.
