Utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mobile Applications to Ensure the Personal and Legal Safety, Security, and Welfare of Informal Migrant Workers Based on Real Just-in-Time (RJIT) Conditions Abroad

Indonesian informal migrant workers’ long history of violence and other victimized experiences, crucial to be solved by the Indonesian government (and representatives of various countries) by getting real just-in-time (RJIT) updates about the migrant workers' situations. These updates play their role in the database information system and RJIT monitoring of informal migrant workers through situations, and conditions, including their legal standing. Advanced AI utilization might even save migrant workers' lives and/or health as it might be set as an emergency button that connects informal migrant workers to local emergency services (fast response), on-site Indonesian government representatives, and other necessary entities. It might also become the first pace of legal monitoring and protection for migrant workers. Using the empiric juridic methodology, this paper analyzed various regulations related to migrant workers, rules, and laws interaction, and examined the implementation of (AI-based) applications on migrant workers in multiple countries. AI's key focus role lies on features effectivity (location tracking, physical identification, emergency notification, risk assessment notification based on RJIT information), legal-info-chatbot (LIC), and legal counsel assistance (LCA). The research showed that integrated advanced and comprehensive RJIT-AI features in migrant workers’ mobile applications positively contributed to improved access to justice, emergency case response, and handling, benefits for the safety and welfare of migrant workers, and function for any related parties. This research recommended regulations strengthening and cross-country synergies in supporting AI technology utilization on informal migrant workers through a protection system.
