Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in education, offering innovative solutions to address long-standing challenges in inclusive education. Inclusive education seeks to ensure equitable access and participation for all learners, particularly those with disabilities and diverse learning needs. This paper explores the role of AI in bridging learning gaps by enhancing accessibility, personalization, and engagement in educational settings. Drawing on recent research, the study highlights how AI-powered tools such as adaptive learning systems, speech recognition technologies, and intelligent tutoring systems support diverse learners. The paper adopts a qualitative research approach, analyzing existing literature and case studies to examine both the opportunities and challenges of AI integration. Findings suggest that AI significantly improves learning outcomes by providing customized educational experiences and reducing barriers to participation. However, issues such as digital inequality, lack of infrastructure, ethical concerns, and insufficient teacher training remain critical challenges. The study concludes that while AI holds immense potential for transforming inclusive education, its success depends on ethical implementation, policy support, and capacity building among educators. The paper recommends integrating AI with inclusive pedagogical frameworks to ensure equitable and sustainable educational development.
