<![CDATA[The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) presents significant opportunities to address structural challenges within the Indonesian justice system. This article examines the use of AI in judicial processes from a procedural law perspective, focusing on two key stages: evidentiary proceedings and judicial decision-making. Employing a normative legal method and a comparative analysis with the European Union (EU), the study explores Indonesia’s regulatory framework, practical implementation, and emerging legal challenges related to AI integration. Indonesian initiatives such as the Smart Assembly system for judge assignment and the Supreme Court’s Early Detection mechanism to reduce decision disparities serve as illustrative case studies. The analysis demonstrates that AI has the potential to enhance administrative efficiency, improve consistency in the application of law, and assist in the evaluation of electronic evidence and formulation of judicial recommendations. However, its integration raises important procedural concerns, including the admissibility and reliability of digital evidence, algorithmic accountability, risks of data bias, and the possible erosion of independent human judicial reasoning. Unlike the EU, which has established comprehensive ethical guidelines and regulatory safeguards to ensure transparency, non-discrimination, human oversight, and human rights protection, Indonesia lacks a coherent legal framework governing AI use in the judiciary. The article concludes that AI should function as a supportive instrument rather than a substitute for judicial authority. Regulatory reform is therefore necessary to ensure that AI deployment aligns with the principles of fairness, accountability, and dignified justice.]]>
