Legal Feasibility of AI Implementation in Indonesian Pharmaceutical Services
Abstract
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers significant potential to improve efficiency, accuracy, and personalization in pharmaceutical services. However, Indonesia lacks a specific legal framework to regulate its application, especially regarding patient protection and professional accountability. This study aims to analyze the compatibility of AI use in pharmaceutical services with principles of health law and consumer protection, and to identify legal gaps concerning liability for AI-induced harm. Using a normative juridical method, the study examines relevant laws and legal literature. The findings show that Indonesia’s positive law does not yet regulate informed consent, algorithm validation, or legal responsibility in AI-based pharmaceutical services. This legal vacuum risks undermining patient rights. The study recommends sectoral regulations that address AI validation, independent audits, data protection, and liability frameworks tailored to AI characteristics, ensuring ethical and legally accountable implementation.
