Minoritized students experience a lower sense of belonging and demonstrate lower success and graduation rates than majority students (Johnson, 2022). As online education evolves and student populations become increasingly diverse (American Council on Education, 2024), creating inclusive learning environments for all students is more critical than ever.  As Tan et al. (2025) note, AI tools offer teachers “enhanced flexibility and efficiency in content creation and personalized learning” (para. 4). A recent study, however, concluded that many online faculty feel their ability to create effective, inclusive course content is limited by either inexperience or lack of autonomy (Vice et al., 2025). This presentation will focus on practical and actionable ways instructors can leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to enhance diversity and inclusion in their online classrooms. Drawing inspiration from recent student survey data that highlight both the need for and potential pitfalls of inclusivity efforts, this presentation will explore how AI can assist instructors in crafting more culturally responsive assignments, generate diverse content, and foster a greater sense of belonging for marginalized learners (Tan et al., 2025), emphasizing the role of human creativity and ethical responsibility in the era of AI-assisted teaching and learning.
