Abstract
Intellectual property rights constitute legal entitlements over creative works that possess economic and moral value. Among the various forms of intellectual property, copyright has recently experienced dynamic developments, particularly in relation to artificial intelligence technologies. The advancement of Artificial Intelligence, specifically Deepfake Voice technology, has facilitated the modification of songs and musical works while simultaneously raising significant concerns regarding copyright protection in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the impact of AI Deepfake Voice utilization on the economic rights of creators resulting from the unauthorized commercialization of their works. The research employs a normative legal methodology incorporating statutory, conceptual, and case-based approaches. The findings demonstrate that the commercial exploitation of Deepfake Voice technology without the creator^s consent results in the deprivation of economic rights, particularly royalties- the transfer of economic benefits to unauthorized parties- and the undermining of the copyright protection framework. Such practices contravene the provisions of Article 9 paragraph (2) of Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright, Article 3 paragraph (1) of Government Regulation Number 56 of 2021, and Article 22 of Minister of Law Regulation Number 27 of 2025. Beyond inflicting financial losses upon creators, this phenomenon engenders legal uncertainty and potentially impedes the sustainability of the national music industry. Accordingly, strengthened regulatory implementation is imperative to ensure that copyright protection adequately accommodates the evolving landscape of AI technology.
