This study explores how high school students view Artificial Intelligence by analyzing factors like gender, age, and academic profile. Based on a survey of 214 students in Bucharest, results show that 42% have an open attitude towards AI. Interestingly, male students and those in technological programs are the most receptive, while humanities students show more reluctance and distrust. These findings provide a valuable foundation for educators to optimize students' perspectives on AI, encouraging a balanced approach that respects ethical principles.
