The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Assigning and Appointing Judicial Panels in Indonesian Courts

The development of 5.0 technology, which facilitates the integration of virtual and physical spaces, has significantly impacted various aspects of human life by incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI). This influence extends to the legal field. The purpose of this study is to examine and understand the use of AI in the assignment and appointment of judicial panels in the Indonesian judiciary's case handling processes. The research conducted is a type of library research employing a normative legal approach with a qualitative methodology. The approach utilized in this study is both juridical-normative and conceptual or analytical. The data sources used include primary and secondary data. The findings of this study indicate that the use of AI in the assignment and appointment of judicial panels is an effort towards greater transparency in case handling. This approach can potentially reduce or eliminate suspicions among parties involved in litigation or the public that a judicial panel could be influenced to favor a particular outcome. Additionally, assigning and appointing judicial panels based on the type and qualifications of cases, as well as workload, can improve the efficiency of judicial performance.
