Gender equality stands as a prominent objective within the UN's sustainable development goals. Gender discrimination and stereotypes, persist across political, economic, cultural, and social arenas. This stark disparity is evident in education, extending to the materials we use for teaching. World Language textbooks have been found to harbor strong gender biases and stereotypes. These biases manifest through visual and verbal presentations within teaching materials. As a transformative force in language education, artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced innovative solutions to enhance language learning and teaching. The researcher explores opportunities for innovation at the intersection of Generative AI and language learning. This presentation seeks to delve into the role of Generative AI tools in promoting gender equity within language curricula and will include examples from Arabic and Portuguese languages, illustrating the application of these AI tools in addressing gender-related challenges in language education.
