Artificial Intelligence aims to create intelligent devices that resemble humans by inducing intelligent behavior. This study aims to examine the senior high school students’ perceptions and awareness on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in terms of age, sex, and grade level. The study utilized a quantitative cross-sectional research design. The respondents of the study were 142 senior high school students currently enrolled in a public secondary high school in Eastern Philippines of the school year 2024-2025 and selected using stratified and systematic random sampling techniques. The study used an adapted survey questionnaire. Results revealed that senior high school students have a high perception and awareness towards ethical implications of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, result showed that there is a significant difference in terms of age of senior high school towards perceptions and attitudes on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and there is no significant difference between perceptions and awareness in terms of sex and grade level. The study concludes that while students are largely optimistic about AI in education, proactive measures are crucial to ensure responsible and fair use of this technology. Further research should focus on addressing resource inequalities and translating ethical concerns into concrete policies and practices. The study emphasizes how urgently proactive steps must be taken to guarantee the ethical and responsible application of artificial intelligence in education, including addressing resource disparities and converting moral considerations into tangible rules and procedures. This highlighted a potential access to AI resources and training, raising concerns about equitable implementation.
