This study investigates the implementation of Management Information Systems (MIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Islamic education governance at MIN 9 Magetan. Driven by digital transformation demands, the research aims to analyze the integration of these technologies, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and evaluate their impact on educational service quality. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that the deployment of specific MIS platforms, such as EMIS 4.0 and ERKAM, significantly enhances administrative efficiency, financial transparency, and data-driven decision-making by the madrasah leadership. Concurrently, the grassroots adoption of AI tools, including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Canva AI, empowers teachers to accelerate lesson planning, design Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) assessments, and foster pedagogical innovation through interactive learning media. While visionary leadership commitment and adequate digital infrastructure strongly support this transformation, several challenges persist. These include a digital literacy gap among senior educators experiencing cultural resistance, as well as operational disruptions caused by central server instability during critical data synchronization periods. Ultimately, the synergistic integration of MIS and AI positively impacts service quality, transparency, and accountability. Therefore, prioritizing targeted digital literacy programs and allocating dedicated budgets for comprehensive AI training are recommended to ensure sustainable implementation. This study contributes to the development of a modern Islamic education governance model that harmonizes digital technology, human resource competence, and good governance principles grounded in Islamic values.
