I would suggest the following edit (though honestly not 100% that args.last always returns the attribute:

module ActiveAdmin
  module Views
    class TableFor
      def bool_column(*args)
        column(*args){ |model| model[args.last] ? '✔'.html_safe : '✗'.html_safe }
      end
    end
    class AttributesTable
      def bool_row(*args)
        row(*args){ |model| model[args.last] ? '✔'.html_safe : '✗'.html_safe }
      end
    end
  end
end

I ran into the need for this with renaming columns like bool_column 'Paid?', :is_paid.

And use this code if you just want to show the booleans with status_tag in AttributesTable view (no need of changing column methods to bool_column:

ActiveAdmin::Views::AttributesTable.class_eval do
  def content_for(record, attr)
    value = find_attr_value(record, attr)
    if is_boolean?(attr, record)
      value = status_tag(value)
    else
      value = pretty_format(value)
    end
    value.blank? && current_arbre_element.children.to_s.empty? ? empty_value : value
  end

  def is_boolean?(data, item)
    if item.respond_to? :has_attribute?
      item.has_attribute?(data) &&
        item.column_for_attribute(data) &&
        item.column_for_attribute(data).type == :boolean
    end
  end
end
