Emerging high technologies in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are providing new trends, approaches, and enriching learning experiences. The importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing in various aspects of life, especially in the technological era. This study aimed to identify the experiences perceived by different AI tools in a classroom setting based on the usefulness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education to TVL-ICT senior high school learners. The researcher employed a qualitative research method, utilizing a narrative inquiry approach through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. A total of ten (10) learner respondents were purposively selected. Data revealed that the usefulness of AI education is a significant factor in analyzing data, identifying patterns, and improving the academic performance of TVL-ICT learners. Utilizing AI tools in school promotes teaching innovation and ready access to materials. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to the usefulness of AI education to learners, incorporating proper training and discipline. An increase in assessment efficiency, time-saving searching for relevant and updated information, and open access to everyone. In contrast, learners experience a high risk of accessing private personal information, potential bias in gathering information, and a lack of trust in using AI tools. Lastly, AI education revealed a five-cycle learning process in education for ICT learners. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education led to a significant improvement in school resources and technological advancement. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in education have been developed to motivate, innovate, and adapt technological development. The usefulness of AI tools cannot replace humans in instructional strategies, but resistance to change may be replaced by technology in the future.
