Abstract
The growing use of artificial intelligence in Indonesian public administration marks an important shift toward digital governance. AI can improve efficiency and also raise concerns about the protection of citizens^ procedural rights. This study argues that Indonesia^s legal framework has not kept pace with the rapid adoption of AI in government decision-making, creating a procedural gap in which algorithm-based decisions are often difficult to explain, challenge, or hold accountable.
Using a juridical-normative approach, this research finds that Law No. 30 of 2014 and Law No. 27 of 2022 still provide limited safeguards against automated administrative systems. These laws have not fully addressed the risks of opaque black box technologies, including biased outcomes and systemic discrimination. To respond to this issue, the study proposes an ^AI Administrative Due Process^ framework to ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical responsibility in the state^s use of AI.
The findings show that without risk-based regulation, AI-based administrative decisions may conflict with the General Principles of Good Administration and weaken public trust. Therefore, this study recommends mandatory external algorithmic audits, a legally recognized right to explanation, and an independent dispute-resolution body. Ultimately, AI should be governed not only as a tool for efficiency, but as a supervised legal instrument that supports justice, accountability, and institutional legitimacy.
