Abstract : In this study we investigated how adolescents' experiences with culture and diverse perspectives can affect their sense and ability to empathize and engage in critical thought through personalized (AI) systems of learning. The way in which the rapid growth of AI technologies used throughout our education system continues to create an ever-increasing array of personalized (AI) learning environments for students, including classroom customized learning environments, has greatly enhanced the efficiency and engagement of individual students due to the increased level of personalization that a student can receive in their educational experience. Concerns about the creation of "echo chambers" by these types of systems are now beginning to emerge; echo chambers refer to teaching styles where children primarily get taught only what they already believe or what is appropriate in keeping with those beliefs, based on the algorithms' determinations, and many researchers believe these echo chambers will prevent adolescents from being culturally open to others, developing emotionally, or thinking independently. Through the collection and use of secondary data from a variety of sources, including literature, academic journals, and research that describes the use of AI in education, we analysed the available literature and research to synthesize existing knowledge on this area of education. Our analysis indicated that while AI-generated formatting of personalization can improve student outcomes and support adaptive instructional methods, students may become increasingly reliant on AI as an instructional method.
