Abstract: This study investigates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping ethical perspectives within Nigerian Social Studies education. This study employs a quantitative descriptive survey design to investigate the influence of AI on ethical perspectives among students in Nigerian social studies education. Data were collected from two tertiary institutions in Osun State, Nigeria. A Likert scale questionnaire was used to measure students' attitudes towards AI and its perceived influence on their ethical reasoning. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The Pearson correlation and the Chi-square test results indicate that AI plays a significant role in shaping students' ethical perspectives. The findings suggest that policymakers should consider integrating AI tools into Social Studies curricula to enhance ethical learning. These findings are expected to provide valuable insights into how educators and students perceive AI's role in social studies and its potential impact on fostering ethical awareness and critical thinking among students.
