This study explored the peculiarities of teaching the topic “Applications of Artificial Intelligence” in the 10th grade through the project-based learning method. The research focused on combining technological tools with modern pedagogical approaches to enhance students’ critical thinking and digital literacy. During the study, project-based learning was implemented, where AI tools were viewed not as providers of ready-made solutions, but as research assistants. The work included debates, analysis of ethical dilemmas, development of a digital security guide, and the use of an interactive game. In conclusion, it can be argued that the primary challenge of modern education is not the rejection of AI, but its wise and ethically grounded integration into school curricula. The project-based method allows for the education of a generation that views technology as a powerful assistant while preserving irreplaceable human values: creativity, empathy, and the right to free choice.
