Digital Infrastructure Transformation To Address Emergency Bullying Through The Implementation of Smart Surveillance Systems in Pesantren Environments
Abstract
This study aims to formulate a digital infrastructure transformation model as a strategic solution to address emergency bullying situations in boarding school environments through the implementation of a Smart Surveillance System. Given the prevalence of violence cases in residential-based educational institutions, this research explores how the integration of artificial intelligence technology can close the supervision gaps that have so far been a weakness in protecting students. The research method used is library research with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Data is collected through the review of policy documents, reputable scientific literature, and technical specifications of AI-based surveillance, which are then analyzed using content analysis techniques to synthesize the relationship between infrastructure reliability and the mitigation of aggressive behavior.The research results indicate that the transformation of digital infrastructure can create a "Digital Panopticon" mechanism that consciously encourages self-discipline among students. Computer Vision technology and acoustic sensors have been proven effective in autonomously classifying behavior and providing early warnings without violating privacy through a Sharia-Compliant Surveillance model. These findings confirm that the modernization of facilities can shift the approach to handling bullying from reactive-curative to preventive-algorithmic. The contribution of this research lies in providing a theoretical framework for pesantren administrators to engineer a data-based (AI) safe environment, as well as serving as a policy reference for the government in developing digital infrastructure standards that are adaptive to pesantren values.Broadly, this article provides a new direction for the development of a modern, accountable, and violence-free Islamic education ecosystem through the optimization of intelligent surveillance technology.
