Abstract	Artificial intelligence tools have become increasingly common in grade 7 classrooms. They allow students to access information more efficiently than previously possible. This study was conducted to determine the level of AI utilization and evaluative thinking performance. Specifically, this aimed to find out the respondents’ assessment on the level of AI utilization, examine the respondents’ level of evaluative thinking performance, and determine the significant relationship between the respondents’ assessment of AI utilization and their evaluative thinking performance. The respondents were the 180 Grade 7 students in select districts of Misamis Oriental who were selected through a stratified random sampling technique. A descriptive – correlation method of research was employed and with a researcher made instrument using a structured survey questionnaire that assessed student’s level of AI utilization and their evaluative thinking performance in the two subject areas. The statistical tools used in analyzing the data included, frequency, mean and Pearson r correlation. The results showed that the respondents assess their level of AI utilization as slightly utilized both in English and Mathematics. Further, the respondents’ level of evaluative thinking performance in English and Mathematics is very satisfactory except on Mathematics. However, there was an inverse relationship between the respondents’ assessment of AI utilization and their evaluative thinking performance in English and Mathematics in which the higher the respondents’ assessment of AI utilization, the lower is their evaluative thinking performance. It is concluded that the more students use AI their evaluative thinking performance decreases. It is recommended that the teachers should actively encourage students to tackle reading, analysis, and problem-solving tasks independently whenever appropriate.
