Abstract
The swift advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed numerous sectors, presenting significant opportunities and intricate obstacles. As AI systems progress towards autonomy, the concerns of accountability and responsibility have grown ever-pressing. This study examines the legal and ethical dilemmas associated with AI, concentrating on assigning liability for harm caused by it. It examines the insufficiency of existing legal frameworks in handling the distinctive attributes of AI, especially in fields like healthcare, autonomous transportation, and criminal justice. The paper utilizes a legal, philosophical approach, promoting the acknowledgment of AI as a legal entity with restricted powers to mitigate liability issues. The document underscores the imperative of integrating ethical values into AI development, highlighting openness, justice, and accountability. Furthermore, the worldwide heterogeneity of AI governance, notably the lack of a unified definition of AI, exacerbates the problems of setting explicit legal norms. The output targets to be achieved include: publication in accredited national journals, dissemination at the Bandung Annual International Conference (BAIC), Intellectual Property (IP). The article ends by suggesting that we need experts from different fields to oversee AI and include ethical concerns in AI design to reduce risks and ensure AI is used responsibly. This underscores the pressing need for cohesive, flexible legal structures to promote innovation while safeguarding public interests.
