Abstract
University students with disabilities navigate education in environments that sometimes are not conducive to producing the best educational experiences. This systematic scoping review aimed to map out current research on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on university students with disabilities in academia, mental health, and the workforce. In this scoping review, AI refers to human-designed technology that mimics cognitive functions such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making to enhance various aspects of life, including academic, social, and career domains.
