Abstract: This study examines the ethics of AI-powered systems that gather and analyse students' personal data, academic performance, and actions. Exploring the ethical implications of AI integration in Jordanian academic environments, examining data privacy mechanisms in AI-driven academic systems, and presenting ethical recommendations for responsible AI integration were the three aims. The ethical framework in this research promotes a well-balanced strategy that maximises AI benefits while protecting student privacy. The report recommended thorough data protection, open AI use, and clear permission processes. Thus, the study found a significant correlation between the ethical concerns of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into academic settings in Jordan, data privacy precautions and AI-driven academic systems, and offered ethical standards for proper AI integration in Jordan. The study found that ethical issues surrounding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in academic settings, particularly the difficult balance between innovation and student privacy in Jordan, shed light on the vital intersection of technology and education. This study highlights the necessity for a comprehensive approach to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into educational institutions while considering ethical issues.
