This work presents a bibliographical review highlighting the importance of including the ethics of artificial intelligence and the use of technologies in undergraduate technology courses, understanding it to be a way of raising awareness among these professionals regarding the relevance of respecting the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and the use of Technologies, as it is about guaranteeing citizens’ rights. To this end, the work conceptualizes artificial intelligence and presents the ethical debate surrounding Bill 2,338 of 2023, known as the Legal Framework for AI in Brazil, finally presenting some measures that, in the author’s point of view, would support the formation of information technology professionals in Brazil.
