Abstract

This conceptual and comparative study examined how pedagogical leadership can guide the integration of AI-driven mobile learning to promote adaptive and sustainable education. Drawing on international cases from Indonesia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe, it identifies leadership strategies that align AI innovation with ethical and humanistic principles. The proposed framework highlights how moral integrity, visionary direction, and teacher competence enable the responsible adoption of mobile and generative AI tools for personalized and ubiquitous learning. The study contributed to advancing global discourse on AI-enabled mobile learning leadership and its implications for educational policy and practice.
