**14.1 Technological infrastructure and access**

Effective integration of AI technology requires robust technological infrastructure, including reliable internet connectivity, appropriate hardware, and software *Bridging the Knowledge Gap on Special Needs Learner Support: The Use of Artificial Intelligence… DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.113054*

resources. Ensuring equitable access to these resources among students and schools is crucial to avoid exacerbating existing inequities [39].

#### **14.2 Ethical considerations and data privacy**

The integration of AI technology raises concerns regarding data privacy, security, and the ethical use of student data. Balancing the collection and utilization of data with respect for individual privacy rights is essential to maintaining trust and transparency, and protecting learner information [40].

#### **14.3 Teacher training and support**

To effectively integrate AI technology into educational frameworks, teachers need adequate training and professional development opportunities. Educators should be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to harness AI tools, interpret data insights, and maintain pedagogical control for optimal learning outcomes [41].

### **15. Conclusion**

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology into existing educational frameworks offers immense potential to enhance inclusivity and accessibility. By providing personalized learning experiences, increasing student engagement, enabling alternative modes of communication, and promoting equal opportunities, AI technology has the capacity to create a more equitable and empowering educational experience for all learners. However, careful considerations regarding technological infrastructure, ethical concerns, and teacher training are crucial to ensure responsible integration and maximize the benefits of AI in education.

### **16. Recommendations**

The recommendations are that AI should be used to personalize learning experiences for special needs learners and that schools should offer content that focuses on the benefits and limitations of using AI in supporting special needs learners. Today's pedagogy should emphasize that AI technology be integrated into existing educational frameworks to ensure inclusivity and accessibility to combat the digital divide and to support learners with special education needs (SEN).
