AI applications that improve the academic performance of students residing in socially excluded areas for the prevention of school dropoutThe inclusion of AI in educational institutions is altering the way in which students, teachers and educational centers function. The general objective of the present study was to investigate the use of AI applications that improve the academic performance of students living in socially excluded areas for the prevention of school dropout. A methodology based on the use of a focused literature review was used. The databases used were Scopus and Web of Science. The results include twenty artificial intelligence applications, from which their purpose, applicability, use, accessibility and improvement have been extracted. Finally, it is concluded that the use of these applications allows the personalization of learning experiences and improvement of academic performance, but the training of the professional and the student to guarantee the ethical use of artificial intelligence is emphasized.
