The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education presents academic challenges for Muhammadiyah educational institutions in balancing learning modernization with Islamic values, teacher readiness, and technological infrastructure limitations. This study aims to analyze AI integration policies in the Ismuba curriculum (Al-Islam, Kemuhammadiyahan, and Bahasa Arab) and identify the challenges and effectiveness of its implementation. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review approach to explore policies, challenges, and the impact of AI integration in Muhammadiyah educational institutions. The findings indicate that AI enhances learning effectiveness through personalized content, interactive materials, and more objective academic assessments, thereby supporting students' understanding of Islamic values and Kemuhammadiyahan. However, key challenges include teacher preparedness, disparities in technological access, and the need for regulations to ensure AI is used ethically and aligns with Islamic educational principles. In conclusion, with well-formulated policies and a strategic implementation approach, AI can be a transformative tool that strengthens the Muhammadiyah education system without compromising Islamic values, fostering a generation that intellectually, spiritually, and morally excels.
