Abstract

"Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the education system of all world nations. It offers possibilities to enhance the learning process, increase access, and support the demands of many types of learners. In Bangladesh, where inequality of education and insufficiency of infrastructure are imminent, AI is also an opportunity and an issue. The following paper argues the growing use of AI in the nation's education sector and its impact on individuals with disabilities and marginalized learners. Research Objectives: The primary objectives of this research are to review the state of AI integration in education in Bangladesh, understand how AI-based technologies affect inclusive learning results, and define the policy and infrastructural gaps that represent the obstacles to equitable integration. Methods: The research is based on the mixed method, as it relies both on secondary data provided by national and international institutions and organizations (e.g., BRAC, UNESCO, World Bank) and the longitudinal analysis of major indicators between 2010 and 2024. Policy documents, field reports, and evaluations of teacher training programs were also examined. Results: The findings indicate a gradual rise in the number of AI-based instruments and digital inclusion initiatives and a significant improvement observed after the adoption of a national inclusive education policy in 2018. The percentage of students with disabilities that had access to digital classrooms increased by 8 times, going from less than 1% in 2010 to 8% in 2024, whilst the amount of AI-powered educational platforms available grew by 800 percent, going from 0 in 2010 to 8 in 2024. Teacher training is, however, modest (only 10% trained by 2024), and rural digital infrastructure disadvantages persist. Conclusion: The paper concludes that AI can address the gaps in Bangladesh's education system. To do this, though, it is recommended to invest more in teacher training, infrastructure, and moral governance. The paper proposes the multi-stakeholder approach as the means of introducing AI into education inclusively, sustainably, and equitably. "
