The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to the scope of Islamic Religious Education. This study aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities faced by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) amidst the widespread use of artificial intelligence by students. The research method used is library research with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Data were collected through documentation of scientific literature, books, and related journal articles. The results show that the development of AI presents challenges in the form of a crisis of religious authority, the risk of shallowing of religious understanding due to the loss of scientific chains of evidence, and threats to students' academic integrity. However, this technology also offers significant opportunities in personalized learning and accelerating Islamic digital literacy. This study concludes that Islamic Religious Education (PAI) must transform the role of teachers from instructors to spiritual mentors and reconstruct the curriculum to emphasize the values of religious humanism and tabayyun literacy. The synergy between technological advancements and moral strength is the main key to maintaining the relevance of Islamic education in the future without losing its spiritual essence.
