<![CDATA[The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has brought significant changes to various aspects of human life, including the production and distribution of digital content. However, alongside these advancements, new opportunities for cybercrime have also emerged, particularly concerning the misuse of AI in the manipulation of obscene content. Phenomena such as deepfake pornography, AI-based image and video fabrication, and the dissemination of manipulative content without the victim’s consent demonstrate increasingly complex and difficult-to-detect forms of cybercrime. This study aims to analyze the forms of AI misuse in cybercrime related to the manipulation of obscene content, as well as to examine the application of law and the challenges of law enforcement within the Indonesian legal system through concrete case studies occurring in society. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches by examining the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, the Criminal Code, and regulations related to personal data protection and public morality. The findings indicate that although the existing positive legal framework regulates the prohibition of distributing obscene content, legal provisions addressing the misuse of AI remain implicit and have not specifically accommodated the distinctive characteristics of AI technology. Therefore, strengthening regulatory frameworks and adjusting criminal law policies are necessary to effectively respond to the rapid development of AI technology and to ensure optimal legal protection for victims of cybercrime involving obscene content manipulation.]]>
