Abstract

In recent years, technological and digital advancements have profoundly transformed various fields of computer science, as well as human endeavors and diverse industries. Disruptive technologies have generated a significant impact on the social and productive spheres globally. Among these, cloud computing, cybe.rsecurity, and 5G technology stand out, with the growth of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) market being particularly relevant and the subject of this chapter. AI's pervasive influence on education has exacerbated the digital divide, which itself reflects existing societal inequalities—a persistent problem not only in education but also across various other societal domains. The interplay of several factors, including access to technology, existing infrastructure, educational training, and the level of technological literacy, alongside inequalities associated with geographical location and current socioeconomic conditions, plays a crucial role in this contex.
