Legal Implications of Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology in Electronic Transactions

Abstract

The advancement of technology, including the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in everyday life, has brought about significant changes and substantial impacts, especially in electronic transactions and law. While the use of AI promises various benefits, it also raises several important legal issues, such as legal responsibility, data privacy, and contract validity. The purpose of this research is to understand the legal framework of AI in the Indonesian legal system and the legal implications of AI utilization, particularly in the context of electronic transactions. This research is of a normative juridical type, employing a conceptual approach and a statute approach. The results of the research indicate that AI is not specifically regulated in its own law but is discussed within the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) and several regulations under it. The legal implications of AI usage can be viewed from two main perspectives. First, AI is regarded as an electronic agent, where all legal responsibilities for AI actions are placed on the electronic system providers. Second, AI is seen as a legal subject, where it is treated as a legal entity or rechtpersoon.
