The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of education has been viewed by many as a Damocles sword for both teachers and learners. Despite its early beginnings in 1956, AI use only boomed in the 2020s with the successful application of machine or deep learning, greater number-crunching power of computers and big data. Its application in the area of education is inevitable and learning institutions have come up with their rules of AI use amidst concerns about originality of work. This study pushed the use of AI and the Metaverse in the final project assignment using topics from the course modules of Science 11 (Living Systems: Concepts and Dynamics), a general education course of the University of the Philippines Open University offered during the 3rd Trimester 2022-2023 and 2nd Trimester 2023-2024. The use of AI was deliberate in the final project assignment and its use was documented in the process flow or project narrative that was also submitted in addition to the final project. Students used Metaverse apps in developing their final projects. Students can start leveraging the use of AI and the Metaverse in their studies and eventually in their work.
