Abstract:
Over the past decades, technological advances have led to the development of assistive technologies in the field of education. Specifically, in special education, access for people with a disability may require adaptations to educational programs and technological applications to enhance their independence and participation in society. One of these innovative educational technologies is artificial intelligence. Research has shown that the effective application of artificial intelligence is an important aid in the education of students with special educational needs, such as those with visual impairments. This article presents a brief review of recent studies on the application of AI in the education of people with visual impairments and whether it can contribute to improving their quality of life and their equal access to all levels of education. It also provides a case study, the "PeopleLens" system, for an in-depth analysis of the use of AI as an assistive technology.
