[18] conducted a broader systematic literature exploringthe impact of AI and new technologies on inclusive education for underrepresented and minoritystudents at the sociocultural level. The review identifies the advantages of using AI and newtechnologies, such as improving student performance, encouraging student interest in STEM, andenhancing student engagement. It also proposes solutions to address pedagogical, technological,and sociocultural challenges, offering guidance for instructors, practitioners, and policymakers
