ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN INDONESIAN JUDICIAL DECISIONS: A PANCASILA-BASED NORMATIVE MODEL WITH A COMPARATIVE APPROACH

Abstract

This paper examines the urgency of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the process of judicial decision-making while remaining rooted in the moral values of Pancasila as the philosophical foundation of the Indonesian nation. On one hand, AI offers transformational potential in enhancing efficiency, consistency, and legal analysis capacity; however, on the other hand, AI also poses ethical and normative challenges related to the absence of moral awareness, ethical responsibility, and the risk of algorithmic bias. Through a juridical-normative research method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative legal approaches, this article explores how AI can function as a decision support system that enhances the objectivity of judges without replacing their deliberative and moral roles. A comparative study of practices in Brazil, the United States, and the European Union shows that the use of AI in the judiciary can be transformative if guided by legal principles and social values that are deeply rooted in society. By referring to the ethical thoughts of Kant, Bentham, Mill, and MacIntyre, and based on the five principles of Pancasila, this paper offers a conceptual model for the utilization of AI in the Indonesian judicial system that upholds human dignity, social justice, and the integrity of the national legal system.
