Abstract: AI technology advancement has sparked a global initiative to educate youth on AI ethics. Understanding students' prior knowledge is vital. This study explores the diverse perceptions of AI ethics among Korean middle school students using Q methodology. Four types emerged: Privacy Guardians, AI Coexistence Pursuers, AI Ethics Conservatives, and Domestic Distributive Justice Advocates. These classifications reflect the students' concerns, attitudes toward AI, and value preferences. Despite differences, there is consensus on the importance of human dignity and disagreement with the fair distribution of economic benefits of AI between countries. The findings suggest the need for tailored educational strategies based on students' perceptions to foster balanced ethical reflection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
