Artificial intelligence is at the center of technological advancement in the modern world. With the rapidly progressing use and multitude of uses, AI allows for more convenient methods, saving time and effort, both. The current study consisted of 3 focus groups with 8 in 1 group and 11 members in each of the other 2 groups, who were asked questions probing their understanding of the ethical use of AI. The responses to each question were manually recorded. The results displayed accountability as the best understood ethical concern in the context of responsible AI. Students were found to be most aware of accountability with different levels of knowledge of other ethical concerns covered in the framework. There was a moderately significant lack of awareness found among the students.
