Abstract This research examined students' awareness of ethical issues that may arise while using generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and their behavioral profiles regarding these awarenesses. In order to examine students' awareness of artificial intelligence ethics, the phenomenological approach, which is among the qualitative research methods, was used as a basis. 137 undergraduate students participated in the study. An open-ended survey was prepared in order to determine students' awareness, behaviors, and profiles regarding the ethical use of artificial intelligence tools. In the research, the ethics of artificial intelligence were examined comprehensively under the titles Privacy/Protection of Personal Data, Accuracy/Reliability/Impartiality, Copyright/Intellectual and Industrial Property Rights, Inequality of Opportunity/Injustice, Ethical Compliance, Social Manipulation/Persuasion, and Responsibility for Content Usage. The data obtained within the scope of the research was analyzed using descriptive analysis. Accordingly, although the majority of students think that artificial intelligence does not protect their privacy and personal data, they continue to use it by sharing their information. However, there are also students who prefer to use the content produced by GAI directly and think that GAI is neutral.
