This study aims to describe the integration of Adaptive Leadership and Digital Leadership based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a strategic leadership model in driving the transformation of educational institutions in the digital era. The method used in this research is a literature review with a descriptive qualitative approach through the analysis of relevant scientific journals and books related to adaptive leadership, digital leadership, and the implementation of AI in education. The findings indicate that adaptive leadership emphasizes the leader’s ability to build a learning culture, organizational flexibility, and responsiveness to change, while digital leadership based on AI focuses on the utilization of technology, data, and artificial intelligence systems in decision-making and innovation in educational management. The integration of these two approaches produces a visionary, data-driven, human-centered leadership model that is responsive to technological disruption. However, its implementation faces challenges such as human resource readiness, digital literacy, and the risk of technology dependency. Therefore, this integration needs to be designed strategically, collaboratively, and sustainably to support the transformation of educational institutions in the Society 5.0 era.
