As the digital era unfolds, Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront, driving transformative changes across sectors. Its omnipresence necessitates a robust framework that not only emphasizes technical proficiency but also underscores the ethical implications of AI's pervasive influence. This paper explores the critical necessity of incorporating moral reasoning within AI curricula. By analyzing the intersection of AI, ethics, and education, the research underscores the importance of cultivating a generation of AI professionals equipped not just with technical acumen but also with a deep-rooted ethical compass. The insights derived aim to guide educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in reshaping curricula, ensuring that the next wave of AI innovators and practitioners navigate the intricate ethical terrains of AI with responsibility and foresight.
