And knowing and formulating the necessary legal remedies to close the regulatory gap for the prevention of the misuse of artificial intelligence (A.I.) on personal data.This research is a normative law research with a legislative and conceptual approach.

Although the Personal Data Protection Law has provided a legal basis, there is no specific regulation that regulates the characteristics of AI, so the existing regulations are not fully adequate.
