The integration of artificial intelligence in Islamic boarding schools represents a significant intersection between traditional religious education and contemporary technological innovation. This study examines how Pondok Pesantren As'adiyah Sengkang in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, incorporates AI-powered tools to enhance Indonesian language instruction while maintaining its distinctive religious educational identity. Drawing upon data from educators, students, and institutional leaders, this research investigates the pedagogical applications, implementation challenges, and educational outcomes associated with AI integration in Indonesian language learning within pesantren contexts. The findings reveal that AI technologies offer substantial benefits including personalized learning pathways, immediate feedback mechanisms, enhanced writing assistance, and expanded access to linguistic resources that complement traditional teacher-centered instruction. However, successful implementation requires addressing infrastructure limitations, digital literacy gaps, theological concerns regarding technology's role in Islamic education, and tensions between technological innovation and preservation of traditional pedagogical values. This research contributes insights into how Islamic educational institutions can strategically leverage emerging technologies to strengthen language instruction while honoring religious foundations and maintaining cultural authenticity in Indonesia's evolving educational landscape.
