Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that aims to create intelligent devices that resemble humans by inducing intelligent behaviour in them Das et al. The idea of AI, which first surfaced in the laser, is the replication of human intelligence by computer. AI has become indispensable to human existence due to computer technology breakthroughs such as data proliferation, computing improvements, and group-breaking algorithms. Many elements of lives have been altered by its quick improvements, but this has additionally caused concerns about algorithmic bias, privacy, and the effects of automation on schools [1].
Artificial Intelligence is a range of industries including social media, applications for software, storage of data, operation for businesses, analytics, interactive platforms, and systems for communication [2]. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has advanced dramatically, revolutionizing several industries and opening up new opportunities for people all around the world Littman et al. Artificial Intelligence technology has enhanced lives and opened up new opportunities, but it has also brought up ethical issues that need to be resolved. The implementation of artificial intelligence systems carries a high risk of violating human rights and unfairly harming underprivileged communities UNESCO and Minssen, et al.
However, a study by Cardon further indicated that one AI’s disadvantage is less significant understanding and genuine writing ability. AI literacy gives students the ability to distinguish between reliable facts and false information, encouraging precision in thought and cultivating an attitude focused on research.
Furthermore, based on the study of Gerlich, AI can fundamentally alter several data programs, as is evident in the present. AI was described as an artificial object Rajendra, et al. This reacts to its surroundings after it recognizes them. Within the same domain, a specific category of artificial intelligence systems known as generative AI (GenAI) can develop and produce content that has an affinity for human- generated items various outputs can be computer code, text, photos, music, movies, or even a combination of various media Farrelly & Baker.
Moreover, the current development of generative AI chatbots has already complex problems with academic dishonesty that educational organizations encounter Oravec. Additionally, given the current momentum artificial intelligence has achieved, some researchers might be drawn to using these technologies in their scientific writing. These are not inherently negative practices. They may even improve teacher’s professional development and students’ educational experiences Selvanathan & Narayanan. As long as the rules of academic ethical principles are followed, these things are accessible. Researchers and students are highly tempted to stay away from academic ethics because even preventing plagiarism technology may fully recognize the fact that some text fragments are generated using AI-based methods Elaal A, et al.
In the Philippines, generative AI has gained popularity, particularly in institutions. Nevertheless, on January 18, 2023, several investigations were launched against UP Diliman students for allegedly submitting using artificial intelligence to meet academic criteria Estrellado. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has advanced dramatically, revolutionizing several industries and opening up new opportunities for people all around the world Littman S, et al. Artificial Intelligence technology has enhanced lives and opened up new opportunities, but it has also brought up ethical issues that need to be resolved. The implementation of artificial intelligence systems carries a high risk of violating human rights and unfairly harming underprivileged communities UNESCO and Minssen M, et al. However, there is no existing research conducted at Muertegui National High School about Artificial Intelligence. Thus, the researchers aim to examine the senior high school students’ perceptions and awareness of the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in Muertegui National High School.
Methodology
This chapter details the research design, data collection methods, surveys, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures used to answer the research questions. It justifies the chosen methodology and addresses potential limitations.
Research Design
This study utilized a quantitative cross-sectional research design to determine the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in terms of algorithmic bias and discrimination, data privacy, and transparency as perceived by senior high school students. Cross-sectional is a research design that examines the characteristics or outcomes of a population or a subset at one specific moment, capturing a broad overview without tracking changes over time. This approach helps identify associations and trends, although it cannot establish cause-and-effect relationships Kumar.
Respondents and Sampling Technique
The respondents of this study were 142 senior high school students currently enrolled in Muertegui National High School in the school year 2024-2025. The researchers used Slovin’s formula with a 5% margin of error to determine the sample size. The computed sample size is 142 out of 226 total populations. Stratified sampling and Systematic sampling techniques were used to determine the appropriate number of respondents. Stratified sampling is a fishbowl is done by the researchers in which the respondents are selected by drawing a random piece of paper from the bowl (Table 1).
| Grade Level | Population Size | Sample Size | Number of Section | Sample Size per Section |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 119 | 75 | 3 | 26 |
| 12 | 107 | 67 | 3 | 23 |
| Total | 226 | 142 | 6 |
Table 1: Sample Size Computation and Representation.
Research Instruments
The study used a self-administered survey questionnaire adapted from the study of Zahrani A and Alasmari [2] entitled Exploring the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Higher Education: The Dynamics of ethical, social, and educational implications. In connection, the survey questionnaire consists of 8 items and is composed of two sections. First is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, and grade level. The second part is composed of 8 statements regarding perceptions of ethical implications. In addition, the researchers utilized a 5-point Likert Scale to measure the respondent’s perception and awareness of the ethical implications of artificial intelligence which is identified as (5) Strongly Agree, (4) Agree, (3) Undecided, (2) Disagree, (1) Strongly Disagree. Similarly, in the study entitled Exploring the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education, Students Preferences and Perceptions is used as adapted survey questionnaires.
Additionally, the study of Manrique and Palomares [3] entitled Embracing the Future: Exploring Teachers Perspective and Readiness for Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mathematics Classroom in Selected Public and Private Senior High School is used as adapted survey questionnaire.
Data Gathering Procedure
Before the data gathering, the researchers were tasked to find and search for a survey questionnaire to be used. The researchers sent an email to the author asking permission to allow them to use the questionnaire. After the author’s response, the researchers conducted a pilot testing of the survey questionnaire to all grade 11 and 12 students. After conducting the pilot testing the researchers proceed to the final data-gathering procedure where the researchers asked permission from the adviser to conduct a survey. The researchers personally distributed the survey questionnaire to the respondents so they could complete responsibly and honestly. Additionally, respondents’ answers were collected for data analysis and interpretation. Before doing data analysis, researchers employ data management including data entering, data coding, and data cleaning [4].
Data Scoring and Interpretation
The interpretation of the mean was based on the following:
| Range | Response Choice | Interpretation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4.51-5.00 | Strongly Agree | It means that the perceptions and awareness of the ethical implications of senior high school students are observed all the time. |
| 4 | 3.41-4.50 | Agree | It means that the perceptions and awareness of the ethical implications of senior high school students are observed most of the time. |
| 3 | 2.61-3.40 | Undecided | It means that the perceptions and awareness of the ethical implications of senior high school students are observed sometimes. |
| 2 | 1.81-2.60 | Disagree | It means that the perceptions and awareness of the ethical implications of senior high school students are observed in a few instances. |
| 1 | 1.00-1.80 | Strongly Disagree | It means that the perceptions and awareness of the ethical implications of senior high school students are not at all observed. |

Data Analysis Procedure
The data gathered from research questions one, two, and three were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics like frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and average weighted mean.
Meanwhile, research question number four was statistically analyzed using a z-test to determine the significant differences in the perceptions and awareness of senior high school students on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence at a 0.05 level of significance. The data were processed through IBM-SPSS V.27.

Table 4: Senior High School Student’s Perception on the Ethical Implications of Artificial Intelligence.
Table 3 shows the perceptions of senior high school students regarding the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence. The result showed that the majority of the respondents agreed that Artificial Intelligence has a limitation (M=3.8, SD=.9). While one remained undecided that AI can replace the role of the student (M=3.3, SD=1.0).
Overall, the average weighted mean (AWM) of senior high school students’ perceptions on the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence is 3.5 and verbally interpreted as Agree. Therefore, this means that senior high school students were slightly aware and conservative that AI has limitations. However, they also recognize that AI cannot replace the human capacity for creative thinking, for envisioning novel solutions and for adapting to unforeseen circumstances. This finding contradict to the study of Herawi H, et al. which shows that Artificial Intelligence play an essential role in education and the respondents understand the limitations of AI [7].

Table 4: A. Senior High School Student’s Awareness on the Ethical Implications on Artificial Intelligence. Table 4 shows senior high school students’ awareness of artificial intelligence’s ethical implications. The results indicate that most respondents agreed high schools should have ethical guidelines and regulations governing AI use (M = 3.8, SD = 0.9). The lowest result was regarding AI transparency and accountability in high schools (M = 3.5, SD = 0.9). The overall average weighted mean (3.7) of senior high school students’ awareness of AI’s ethical implications, which is verbally interpreted as Agree. The results reflect a positive attitude towards establishing ethical standards for AI in education, indicating that students are not only aware of the ethical implications but also advocate for structured regulations to ensure responsible use of AI technologies in their schools. This shows that students strongly believe that ethical frameworks are necessary for AI in the classroom. Although there is still agreement on this statement, it is the least popular of the ones that were presented, suggesting that students may not be as certain or as strongly in agreement with the necessity of accountability and openness as they are with the other ethical factors. The findings were similar to the study conducted by Al-Zahrahi and Alasmari [2], which revealed that the respondents emphasized the need for ethical guidelines, respect for student autonomy, avoidance of societal inequalities, preservation of human interaction, addressing biases, prioritizing data ethics, ensuring transparency and accountability, and addressing privacy and security concerns [9].

Table 4.1 shows senior high school students’ awareness of artificial intelligence’s ethical implications. The results indicate that most respondents agreed that they are prepared to start using AI technologies in their study (M=3.7, SD=0.8). While one remained undecided about having access to the resources needed to implement AI tools in their classroom (M = 3.3, SD = 0.9). The overall average weighted mean (3.5) of senior high school students’ awareness of AI’s ethical implications, which is verbally interpreted as Agree. This suggests that while many students believe they are prepared, a significant number may lack access to the necessary tools and resources to actually utilize AI effectively in their learning. This disparity in resource access could widen the existing achievement gap and hinder the equitable integration of AI in education. The results contradict the findings of Manrique P, et al. [3], who found out that students are prepared in using artificial intelligence in their study [10].

Table 4.2 shows senior high school students’ awareness of artificial intelligence’s ethical implications. The results indicate that the majority improved their learning (M=3.8, SD=0.9). The lowest result showed that AI has the potential to create more diverse learning opportunities (M=3.8, SD=0.9). The overall average weighted mean (3.5) of senior high school students’ awareness of AI’s ethical implication, which is verbally interpreted as Agree. In conclusion, these results highlight the importance of integrating discussions about the ethical implications of AI into the curriculum, ensuring that students not only appreciate AI’s benefits but also understand its broader impact on learning diversity and ethical considerations. These results contradict to the findings of Manrique P, et al. [3], the respondents shows that they believe that artificial intelligence will enhance their knowledge in studying [11].

Table 14: Significant Difference between Perception and Awareness of Senior High School Students on the Ethical Implication of Art
Table 9 shows the z-test result of perceptions and awareness on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. It can be observed that there is no significant difference in perceptions and awareness since the p-value (1.69). This means that grade 12 students have no different perceptions and awareness on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, there is no significant difference between perceptions and awareness in grade 12 towards ethical implications of artificial intelligence. This means that grade 12 students have no different perceptions and awareness on the ethical implications such as algorithmic biases and discrimination, transparency, and data privacy of artificial intelligence.
Conclusion
This study investigated senior high school students’ attitudes toward the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Based on the findings of senior high school students perceptions and awareness on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence is found that the students’ observed most of the time. Also, the results revealed that senior high school students are agreed towards the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. Based on surveys and statistical analysis, show a generally positive view of AI’s potential benefits such as personalized learning and increased efficiency. However, students also expressed awareness of AI’s limitations and the importance of ethical guidelines to address issues like data privacy and algorithmic bias. This highlighted a potential disparity in access to AI resources and training, raising concerns about equitable implementation. 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.
