Adaptive learning, supported by artificial intelligence (AI), represents a major innovation in education, with a significant impact on inclusivity. This approach allows the personalisation of the learning experience by adapting in real time to the individual needs of students, responding to specific difficulties and optimizing interaction with educational content. The paper analyzes the main educational pathways according to the individual needs of students, with a particular focus on students with special educational needs (SEN) or students with disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. The opportunities offered by AI in reducing inequalities, improving equitable access to education, will be discussed.  The role of teachers in educational co-design is central to this process, as their experience and understanding of students' needs is crucial for optimizing the use of adaptive technologies. The contribution will also address critical challenges related to the integration of AI into education systems, such as equity in access to technologies, teacher training for the effective use of adaptive tools, and ethical issues related to the privacy of student data.
