The article by Didi Jubaidi and Khoirunnisa Khoirunnisa examines the legal status of artificial intelligence (AI) within the Indonesian legal framework, posing the question of whether AI should be treated as a legal subject or object. Using normative legal research, the study concludes that AI is currently categorized as a legal object under Indonesian law, without personification or recognition as a legal subject.

The authors highlight the implications of this status, particularly in cases where AI systems cause harm. The absence of specific AI regulations creates a gap in addressing liability and ethical challenges. They suggest adopting adaptive legal policies and frameworks to manage AI's complexities and align with the precautionary principle.

The study also explores the possibility of partial recognition of AI as a legal subject with limited liability, drawing attention to the need for multidisciplinary approaches in lawmaking. The findings emphasize how Indonesia must address these gaps to ensure AI's potential is harnessed responsibly while protecting societal interests.
