Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to various aspects of life, while also creating increasingly complex forms of misuse, such as digital information manipulation, automated cyberattacks, and personal data exploitation. These conditions demonstrate the limitations of conventional criminal law in anticipating and addressing AI-based crimes. In Indonesia, there is currently no specific and comprehensive criminal law regulation governing the misuse of AI, which may lead to regulatory gaps, differences in legal interpretation, and legal uncertainty. This study aims to analyze the urgency of establishing criminal law policies concerning the misuse of AI and to examine the ideal direction of criminal law policy to achieve legal certainty. The study finds that establishing criminal law policies concerning AI misuse is an urgent necessity. Such policies should be adaptive, preventive, responsive, and forward-looking. An ideal regulatory framework should address the definition and scope of AI, limitations on its use, criminal liability, prevention, supervision, system security standards, and the enhancement of law enforcement capacity. Through clear and comprehensive policies, criminal law is expected to provide legal certainty while protecting society from the negative impacts of AI misuse.
