<![CDATA[The rapid growth of generative technology, particularly Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), provides new opportunities to strengthen character education in Islamic schools. However, previous studies on Islamic character education have largely relied on conventional teaching approaches, while research discussing the integration of generative AI into value-based education remains limited. In addition, many studies on artificial intelligence in education focus on cognitive outcomes rather than moral development, leaving a gap in understanding how generative technology can support character formation in religious educational settings. This study aims to examine the development of a generative technology–based Islamic character formation model at SMP Islam As Sakinah Sidoarjo as part of efforts to prepare the Indonesian Golden Generation 2045. The study used a descriptive qualitative design through observations, interviews, and analysis of school documents. The results show that GAI supports teachers in developing contextual moral learning materials, generating ethical case simulations, and facilitating reflective learning adapted to students’ needs. These practices strengthen values such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, and empathy through adaptive learning scenarios. The school also applies ethical supervision and digital literacy guidance to ensure that technology use remains aligned with Islamic principles. This study proposes an AI-assisted Islamic character education model integrating generative learning, reflective value formation, and ethical control, which represents a novel framework for character education in the digital era.]]>
