This study examines the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in AI-assisted senior high school workbooks developed by teachers at the Cebu Institute of Technology - University (CIT-U), Philippines. Through quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 321 learning exercises, the research identifies patterns, gaps, and opportunities in SDG representation, with a focus on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping sustainability-related content. Key findings reveal that SDG 4 (Quality Education) dominates the workbooks (35.83%), followed by SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) (15.89%), while critical goals such as SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 14 (Life Below Water) are severely underrepresented (< 2%). AI-assisted content demonstrates strengths in generating interdisciplinary scenarios but lacks depth in localizing themes and addressing environmental and socioeconomic challenges. The study recommends strategic rebalancing of SDG coverage, leveraging AI for contextualized and action-oriented activities, and enhancing teacher training for cross-curricular SDG integration. These insights contribute to the broader discourse on technology-enhanced Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), offering practical pathways to align workbook design with global sustainability agendas in the Philippine educational context.
