<![CDATA[The development of Artificial Intelligence in the era of global digital transformation presents both opportunities and challenges for the implementation of Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia, particularly in developing the character of an adaptive, religious, and integrated digital generation amidst increasingly complex information flows. This situation emphasizes the urgency of transforming Islamic Religious Education that can integrate technological innovation with the strengthening of Islamic values in a balanced manner. This study aims to analyze the transformation of Islamic Religious Education based on Artificial Intelligence in strengthening the character of the digital generation and identify its implications for learning development. The study used a qualitative approach with a literature review through data collection from books, scientific articles, policy documents, and relevant publications. Data were analyzed using content analysis through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions, while data validity was achieved through source triangulation and diligent review. The results show that the use of Artificial Intelligence can increase the effectiveness of adaptive, personalized, and interactive learning while strengthening religious, critical, ethical, and responsible character when integrated with Islamic Religious Education values. These findings provide theoretical contributions to the development of a technology-based Islamic Religious Education paradigm and practical implications for educators and policy makers in realizing innovative, humanistic, and character-building-oriented learning. Abstrak Perkembangan Artificial Intelligence pada era transformasi digital global menghadirkan peluang sekaligus tantangan terhadap pelaksanaan Pendidikan Agama Islam di Indonesia, terutama dalam membangun karakter generasi digital yang adaptif, religius, dan berintegritas di tengah arus informasi yang semakin kompleks. Kondisi tersebut menegaskan urgensi transformasi Pendidikan Agama Islam yang mampu mengintegrasikan inovasi teknologi dengan penguatan nilai keislaman secara seimbang. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis transformasi Pendidikan Agama Islam berbasis Artificial Intelligence dalam memperkuat karakter generasi digital serta mengidentifikasi implikasinya bagi pengembangan pembelajaran. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi literatur melalui pengumpulan data dari buku, artikel ilmiah, dokumen kebijakan, dan publikasi relevan. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis isi melalui reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan simpulan, sedangkan keabsahan data dilakukan melalui triangulasi sumber dan ketekunan penelaahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan Artificial Intelligence mampu meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran yang adaptif, personal, dan interaktif sekaligus memperkuat karakter religius, kritis, etis, dan bertanggung jawab apabila diintegrasikan dengan nilai Pendidikan Agama Islam. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi teoretis bagi pengembangan paradigma Pendidikan Agama Islam berbasis teknologi serta implikasi praktis bagi pendidik dan perumus kebijakan dalam mewujudkan pembelajaran yang inovatif, humanis, dan berorientasi pada pembentukan karakter.]]>
