The Urgency of Implementing the Principle of Strict Liability in Cases of Artificial Intelligence Utilization that Violate the Indonesian Electronic Information and Transactions Law

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has a positive impact on the digital world, but it also has the potential to raise legal issues. Implementing the Strict Liability Principle in cases of violations of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE) can be an effective solution as it determines responsibility without needing to prove fault. The urgency of applying this principle is particularly related to the harmful capabilities of AI towards others. Despite its benefits, implementing this principle requires clear provisions to prevent abuse. In the context of globalization, AI needs to be properly regulated to prevent violations of the UU ITE and uphold justice for victims. This research employs normative legal research method using secondary data, particularly primary legal materials. Data was obtained through documentary studies or literature reviews, which were then analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. The research aims to make predictions, provide descriptions of findings, and draw scientifically justifiable conclusions. The Strict Liability Principle is used in handling cases of UU ITE violations in Indonesia without needing to prove the perpetrator's fault. The government can strengthen this principle by enhancing supervision and law enforcement, imposing strict sanctions, conducting education and socialization, and collaborating with online platforms. The mechanism for resolving cases involving the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) under the UU ITE includes stages such as case identification, investigation, expert examination, mediation, out-of-court settlement, court settlement, and punishment in accordance with the level of violation. Regarding legal protection for victims of AI use, the UU ITE does not specifically regulate this, but legal protection can be implemented through clear regulations, strict control, and enforcement of legal responsibility for AI owners, with the hope that moral values, ethics, and justice are maintained in AI usage
