CIDDL: Artificial Intelligence: The Impact of AI on Education for All Learners

“Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the brink of transforming education…”

This report discusses how AI technologies can expand opportunities and improve outcomes for all learners, including those in marginalized or underserved communities. It explores AI’s role in personalization, accessibility, and adaptive learning — enabling responsive support that adjusts to learners’ pace, preferences, and needs. The document also addresses how AI can help identify learning gaps early, provide differentiated scaffolding, and deliver assistive technologies so that education becomes more inclusive and equitable.

Alongside the benefits, the report highlights key challenges and considerations: risks of algorithmic bias, digital access divides, data privacy and security, and the need for robust infrastructure and capacity building. It argues that to meaningfully support all learners, educational institutions must intentionally design AI approaches with equity, transparency, and human oversight as core principles.
