Abstract: AI programs that help us learn languages are commonly used in various classrooms; however, they often include some forms of prejudice preventing their productivity. This research scrutinizes them meticulously by following up on the results obtained from questionnaires, interviews, and the analysis of data derived from four artificial intelligence platforms. It was found that there is a reduction of more than 30% in the participation of minority students when such biases are clear, signaling alarms for extra comprehensive datasets on which to base further research in the field of AI. It suggests a proposed framework called ‘METAL’ (Multicultural Education through Technology Assisted Learning) aimed at promoting multiculturalism within these apps amongst others. The suggested ways forward comprise integrating multi-cultural content as well as adopting adaptive algorithms that respect specific customs situated in various societies worldwide. Therefore, there is a need for AI tools redesigned to cater to all learners’ needs, thus enhancing educational development as a whole.
