The digital transformation of education encourages teachers to be competent in utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support learning and educational administration. However, AI literacy and teacher readiness in implementing this technology are still relatively limited. This community service activity aims to improve teachers' digital competence in utilizing AI for innovative learning and more effective educational administration. The activity was carried out through a hands-on collaborative training workshop, a collaboration between the English Language Education Study Program of Muhammadiyah University of Kendal Batang and the APKS PGRI Batang Regency. It was attended by 68 teachers in Batang Regency. The workshop was held in the Hall of SMP Negeri 1 Batang using lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and reflection methods. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding of AI, their ability to use AI platforms for learning, and the use of AI in educational administration. Teachers were able to produce more effective AI-based teaching tools, learning media, automated assessments, and learning administration. This activity contributed to strengthening teachers' digital pedagogical competence while supporting technology-based educational transformation in the 21st-century education era. This program produced a practice-based training model that can be replicated by educational institutions and professional teacher organizations to strengthen teachers' digital competence in the era of AI-based educational transformation.
