Abstract

The swift progression of digital technology has profoundly altered the healthcare industry, especially with the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in telemedicine and virtual medical consultations. AI facilitates expedited and more effective diagnostic procedures without necessitating the physical presence of healthcare practitioners. Consequently, Indonesia is likewise embracing telemedicine innovations within its healthcare industry. Nonetheless, the legislation underpinning AI-based telemedicine is eliciting concerns about potential harm to patients. This article evaluates the quality of Indonesian telemedicine legislation based on artificial intelligence and suggests necessary legal substances to improve its standards for responsible AI in the healthcare sector. This article claims that Indonesian telemedicine legislation lacks provisions addressing misdiagnosis that leads to patient harm. The determination of legal obligation among the physician, healthcare institution, or AI developer remains ambiguous, presenting intricate legal dilemmas, particularly regarding liability. This article proposes amendments to Indonesian healthcare
