Objective: This study aims to analyze the development of Islamic Smart Schools based on Artificial Intelligence to build a Golden Generation with Asta Cita Insight in Indonesia. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this study integrates the philosophy of Islamic education and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely SDG 4 on Quality Education, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Resilient Institutions). Literature review: A literature review reveals that previous research has identified Smart Schools and Artificial Intelligence in administration, management, and teaching and learning activities to have a positive impact on improving the quality of education. Methods: The research method is the Mixed Methods Model Sequential Exploratory Design, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods. This research was conducted at Muhammadiyah PK Kottabarat Junior High School in Surakarta and Muhammadiyah Al Kautsar PK Junior High School in April - August 2025. The subjects of the study include principals, vice principals, teachers, parents, students, and stakeholders. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews, participant observations, field documentation analyzed by qualitative methods, and questionnaire data results analyzed using quantitative methods using SPSS software. Results: The development of Islamic Smart Schools and AI-based learning has a significant effect on the formation of the Golden Generation with Asta Cita insights, with a contribution of 63.8%. The school integrates digital technology and AI into management, learning, the competence of teachers, staff, and students through various excellent programs such as smart classrooms, digital literacy, international classes, AI training, and strengthening Islamic character through tahfidz, mentoring, and Hizbul Wathon scouting activities. Implications: This study confirms that the development of Islamic Smart Schools makes a significant contribution to the achievement of Asta Cita, especially on the goal of building superior and characterful human resources and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely SDG 4 on Quality Education, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Resilient Institutions). Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the educational model that combines school digitalization with Islamic values. This Education Model can be a reference in preparing the golden generation of 2045 through a technological approach based on spirituality and character.
