Legal Arrangement of Artificial Intelligence In Indonesia: Challenges and Opportunitiesa

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that can perform actions automatically based on certain electronic information. AI has developed and it’s widely used in several types of work in Indonesia, such as banking, e-commerce, health, and so on. This paper aims to examine legal regulations regarding AI in Indonesia using normative research methods with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results of this research show that AI can be constructed as an electronic agent regulated in the ITE Law, but this regulation is still general in nature and does not cover certain aspects regarding AI, such as ethics, data protection and accountability. This paper also identifies several legal challenges that will arise from the use of AI, such as determining responsibility, consumer protection, and human rights protection. Apart from that, this article also offers several legal opportunities that can be utilized from the use of AI, such as increasing innovation, efficiency and welfare. This paper recommends that the Indonesian government immediately draft a law that specifically regulates AI, which comprehensively and proportionally regulates the legal aspects of AI, as well as adopting international standards and best practices that are relevant to conditions in Indonesia.
