Introduction

The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) technologies has profoundly impacted various sectors, with education being one of the most transformative domains [1]. Over the past few years, the integration of AI-driven systems in educational frameworks has gained momentum, especially in the context of personalized and adaptive learning [2]. Personalized learning refers to the use of technology to tailor educational experiences to individual student needs, preferences, and abilities, fostering more engaging and effective learning environments [3]. AI and DL facilitate the creation of systems that continuously monitor and adjust learning pathways based on real-time data, providing a level of customization previously unattainable in traditional educational settings [4]. These systems analyze student behavior, learning styles, and progress, allowing educators to deliver a more tailored and responsive learning experience. The ability to adapt learning in real time is one of the main advantages of AI-powered systems, ensuring that each student can learn at their own pace while being consistently challenged and supported [5].

One of the most significant advancements in AI and DL for personalized learning is the ability to analyze large, complex datasets to inform decision-making [6]. By continuously processing data from various sources such as assessments, interaction logs, and engagement metrics AI algorithms can predict student outcomes, identify learning gaps, and recommend targeted interventions [7]. This data-driven approach allows educators to intervene early when a student shows signs of struggling, ensuring that learning challenges are addressed before they become insurmountable [8]. Furthermore, the integration of machine learning models allows for continual system refinement, ensuring that recommendations and learning pathways become more accurate and personalized over time [9]. AI-driven learning systems can also evolve to accommodate new data, adapting to shifts in student behavior or learning preferences, creating a dynamic and responsive learning environment. This adaptability is crucial in today’s rapidly changing educational landscape, where students have diverse needs and educational goals [10].

Another transformative aspect of AI in personalized learning is the ability to leverage Reinforcement Learning (RL) to optimize student engagement and performance [11]. RL algorithms operate through a feedback loop, in which an AI system learns from its interactions with students to determine the most effective actions for achieving desired outcomes [12]. For example, an AI system using RL can continuously adjust the difficulty of tasks, provide personalized content, or offer suggestions based on the learner’s progress, ensuring that each student’s experience is uniquely tailored [13]. This constant adaptation allows the system to maximize engagement, challenge students without overwhelming them, and promote deep learning over time [14]. RL enables these systems to go beyond traditional adaptive learning methods, which typically adjust based on static student profiles or preset learning objectives. By incorporating real-time feedback, RL-based systems are more capable of fostering sustained engagement and motivation, key elements in successful educational experiences [15].
