<![CDATA[The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybercrime investigations presents an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of law enforcement through digital forensic analysis, crime pattern detection, and electronic evidence processing. However, the application of AI also raises legal challenges, particularly regarding the validity of evidence, the principle of chain of custody, and potential violations of suspects' human rights, such as the right to privacy and the right to legal counsel, as guaranteed in Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions, Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection, Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code, and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. A normative legal analysis shows that current regulations do not specifically regulate the mechanisms for using AI in investigations, thus creating legal uncertainty and the risk of algorithmic bias that could harm suspects. Therefore, legal reforms are needed in the form of developing technical guidelines, AI system audit standards, and specific regulations that balance the effectiveness of law enforcement with the protection of human rights. Harmonizing technology, due process principles, and human rights protection will ensure that the use of AI not only improves investigative capacity but also strengthens legal certainty and the legitimacy of criminal justice processes in the digital era.]]>
