This research investigates the impact of AI-based emotional cue detection on social-emotional learning (SEL) and individualized academic support in online learning environments. In a quantitative research, data were collected from 236 university instructors using probability sampling techniques. The research aims to evaluate the interconnections between emotional cue detection, SEL, and individualized support, and their connection to students' emotional regulation, academic resilience, and academic performance. Regression and ANOVA analysis indicate that awareness of emotional cues has a significant effect on SEL and individualized academic support, and the facilitative role of AI in improving students' engagement, motivation, and emotional well-being. The results indicate that AI systems can facilitate timely interventions, improve emotional regulation, and foster academic performance by being attuned to the distinctive emotional and cognitive needs of students. Moreover, the research emphasizes the necessity to continue to develop AI technologies, particularly for multicultural and multilingual environments, to enhance support for students in their diverse groups. Incorporating SEL practices into AI systems is also crucial in fostering students' social skills and emotional intelligence. Ethical issues, such as data protection and security, are still crucial to the safe and responsible use of AI in education. These findings provide valuable insights into the effective application of AI in achieving both the emotional and academic growth of students, and they can be used as a resource in guiding future education practices and policymaking. This research has significant implications for teachers, policymakers, and technology developers who seek to create more inclusive, personalized, and emotionally supportive learning environments in the digital age.
