The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has facilitated various professional activities, including the preparation and drafting of deeds by Notaries. The use of AI in notarial practice may increase efficiency; however, it also raises legal issues concerning the limits of AI utilization, the validity of deeds, and the liability of Notaries when errors or violations occur in deeds prepared with AI assistance. This is because the Notary Position Law does not specifically regulate the use of AI in the performance of notarial duties or the administrative consequences arising from its use. This study aims to analyze the application of administrative sanctions against Notaries in relation to deeds prepared through AI and to formulate the limits of Notaries’ liability in utilizing AI. This study employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. Legal materials are analyzed prescriptively to formulate a legal construction concerning the use of AI in deed preparation and the application of administrative sanctions against Notaries. The results demonstrate that AI may be utilized as a supporting instrument in notarial work but cannot replace the authority, professional judgment, and responsibility of a Notary as a public official. Notaries remain responsible for verifying the identity and intentions of the appearers, the substance of the deed, the procedures for its execution, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The novelty of this research lies in constructing AI as a supporting instrument in the performance of notarial duties while directly relating its use to parameters of professional violations and the application of administrative sanctions. Therefore, more specific regulation is required concerning the use of AI in notarial practice, including verification standards, Notaries’ supervisory obligations, and parameters of violations that may constitute grounds for administrative sanctions, in order to ensure legal certainty and protection for the parties.
