<![CDATA[The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed educational systems, affecting both learning processes and institutional governance. These developments require educational leadership that can adapt to technological change while ensuring that AI implementation remains aligned with educational quality improvement. This study aims to analyze the role of educational leadership in responding to AI disruption using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The review examined scholarly publications and policy documents published over the last five years obtained through Google Scholar and official publications from relevant international organizations. The collected literature was analyzed using content analysis to identify major themes and develop a conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that successful AI implementation in education depends on leaders' ability to establish a digital transformation vision, strengthen AI literacy, promote data-driven decision-making, cultivate an innovation-oriented organizational culture, and implement ethical AI governance. Furthermore, educational leadership in the AI era should integrate human intelligence and artificial intelligence synergistically, allowing technology to support decision-making while preserving human responsibility in strategic leadership. This study contributes a conceptual framework that reinforces adaptive, collaborative, and sustainable educational leadership for addressing AI disruption in contemporary education.]]>
