Abstract

The background of this research is that copyright law seeks to balance authors’ economic interests with broader public interests. However, AI development requires large-scale access to copyrighted works, while Indonesian Copyright Law does not specifically regulate such use. This regulatory gap risks infringing authors’ economic rights and creates legal uncertainty for AI developers. The purpose of this research is to formulate an appropriate balance between authors’ economic rights and access rights in the context of AI development. The method used is normative legal research through the analysis of legislation, legal principles, and scholarly opinions. The results obtained are: first, the current Indonesian copyright framework has not adequately addressed AI-related challenges, resulting in an imbalance between copyright protection and access to information and data. Second, a more balanced framework can be achieved through copyright reform that treats the protection of economic rights, scientific advancement, and technological innovation as complementary objectives. The conclusions that can be drawn are that Indonesia’s copyright regime requires reform based on the principle of balancing interests to protect authors’ economic rights while providing proportionate access to copyrighted works for AI development.
