Abstract

This study aims to discuss whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be held liable for causing harm, and to explore the civil liability mechanisms applicable in such cases. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative and conceptual approach. Legal materials were collected through a literature review of relevant laws, regulations, and legal documents, and the data was analyzed using qualitative descriptive data analysis methods. The results of the study show that that AI cannot be held liable, as it is not a legal subject but a legal object. Civil liability is imposed on the owner or party controlling the AI based on Articles 1365 and 1367 of the Civil Code. This liability can be imposed absolutely (strict liability). This study suggests that the government needs to immediately formulate specific regulations governing the use of AI and accountability for losses caused by Artificial Intelligence technology, and that users and owners of AI technology need to be more careful and wiser in using artificial intelligence technology.
