This paper investigates the role of technological integration in advancing education quality and gender parity in Saudi Arabia, aligning with Vision 2030. The study explored how online learning, digital literacy, and artificial intelligence systems can help solve the problem of poor education quality and remove barriers that are associated with gender differences in Saudi Arabia in connection with achieving the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. Through a quantitative survey involving 950 participants from various sectors, including students, gender advocates, and policy analysts, insights were gathered on the impact of online learning, and artificial intelligence on educational outcomes. Results reveal a significant proportion (55.68%) enjoying access to quality education (56.73%) utilizing digital tools for learning enhancement. Encouragingly, 84.95% acknowledge the importance of digital literacy and online education in expanding educational opportunities. However, 75.89% recognize prevalent gender disparities, with limited access to digital tools hindering equality. Nonetheless, nearly all respondents (95%) agree on the potential of online learning to address gender gaps. Stakeholders affirm technology's pivotal role in realizing SDGs 4 and 5, emphasizing its capacity to elevate education quality, eradicate gender inequalities.
