This study examines the role of the Intelligence Division of the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Indonesia in supporting state defense, as well as the opportunities and challenges arising in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). The analysis is grounded in the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 3 of 2002 on National Defense, Law No. 16 of 2004 on the Attorney General’s Office, and its amendment under Law No. 11 of 2021. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, particularly the theory of the rule of law and the concept of law enforcement intelligence. The findings indicate that prosecutorial intelligence plays a strategic role through early detection, security, and intelligence mobilization, positioning it within the non-military defense system to maintain national stability. Technological advancements provide opportunities for modernization through big data, machine learning, and predictive analytics. However, challenges include AI-based crimes, limited human resources and digital infrastructure, disinformation risks, and ethical and privacy concerns. Therefore, institutional transformation is necessary to strengthen technological capacity, data integration, and digital competencies in optimizing its role in the digital era.
