Abstract
As the world rapidly progresses technologically, humans are left wondering where new adaptations will lead us. Artificial intelligence tools are increasingly used in workplaces, classrooms, and nearly everywhere from simple tasks to more complex ones. In terms of education in classrooms, this raises ethical concerns about fairness, academic integrity, and teacher and school authority. This research explores both student and teacher perspectives on the ethical concerns surrounding the use of AI in their learning environments. The main focus of this research is to address the gap in student perspectives regarding AI integration at the high school level. The mixed-method design of this research is done through anonymous digital surveys which collect demographics as well as answers on a forced-choice Likert scale to gauge the ethical boundaries the participants agree or disagree with. After the data is collected and analyzed, it will be of important use for schools to use it as a means to establish guidelines and policies regarding AI, and the method and findings can be used as an impetus for further research in the subject matter.
