Introduction
The rapid development of technology has an impact on various sectors.Not to mention the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is currently hotly discussed by the public.Seeing this, the Supreme Court (MA) then carried out various innovations to utilize technology to provide the best service by the principles of fast, simple, and lowcost justice for justice seekers (Fachri., 2023).
The utilization of AI is becoming increasingly widespread across a multitude of sectors, including trade, health, law, and politics.This demonstrates that AI is already being integrated into various aspects of society.AI has undergone three levels of development: (1) Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), which is a type of Weak AI. (2) Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), also known as Strong AI, possesses capabilities similar to those of humans.(3) Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) is an intentionally created form of AI that surpasses human abilities (Ashshidqi, 2019).
One of the obstacles found in implementing AI in Indonesia is the leadership factor, especially in public services, with complicated service procedures that require innovation to supply solutions to community concerns.(Effendi & Pribadi, 2021) Leader ability is an important aspect in facing the 4th Industrial Revolution.(Kalalo & Pontoh, 2020) Where humans cannot beat machines, but humans have minds that differentiate the two; A leader must form a cultural leadership system with strong organization and influence through leadership style.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to analyze crime data and make predictions regarding the location and time of crime incidents.This can help the police to allocate resources more efficiently.In addition, AI can be used to detect patterns of fraud, corruption, or other criminal acts in various aspects of law enforcement, such as in the investigation and audit process.In the digital era, digital evidence such as text messages, emails, or video recordings can be processed using AI technology to support investigations and law enforcement.AI can also be used to analyze the risk of conflicts of interest in law enforcement institutions, to prevent abuse of power or acts of corruption.By utilizing AI in data analysis, decisions taken by law enforcement agencies can be more objective and based on strong evidence.AI systems can be used to monitor the performance and behavior of law enforcement officers, as well as evaluate law enforcement processes to ensure compliance with rules and ethics.The use of AI technology in law enforcement can also provide equal access to legal services for the community, including in terms of legal aid and legal information.Although the adoption of AI in law enforcement in Indonesia can bring great benefits, it is important to remember that the implementation of this technology must also be supported by clear regulations, protection of personal data, and ensuring that decisions taken by AI systems are non-discriminatory and by the principles of fairness.
Certain organizations are optimistic that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play a significant part in decision-making for law enforcement in Indonesia.It is because AI can efficiently handle legal documents, conduct risk analysis, search for information, make decisions, manage cases, and prevent fraud.(Telkomuniversity.com, October 4, 2023).However, it requires further study regarding the use of AI in law enforcement, especially in strengthening the role of Judges in Indonesian Courts.The use of technology in judicial institutions is due to the large number of cases coming in, while the number of judges is small, making it seem like there is an imbalance.Therefore, the Supreme Court took the initiative to provide technological assistance through various innovations within the court.Such as e-court, e-litigation, electronic mediation, and so on.All of this is utilized as much as possible to support the judge's functions.As is known, almost all litigation processes at the Supreme Court and the Four Judicial Districts throughout Indonesia already use technology.Moreover, the Supreme Court now has a Smart Assembly, an artificial intelligence-based robotics application to select a panel of judges automatically, using various factors including experience, competence, and workload of judges, considering the type of case to be tried so that the judges are selected to have expertise appropriate to the case being handled (pnkoba, 2023).
The problem in this research is How to Strengthen the Role of Artificial Intelligence Technology in the Role of Court Judges in Indonesia.

Research Method
This applied paper was written utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach, which starts with data that accurately depicts issues that are encountered in the field, analyzes the data, and draws conclusions to address the issues.To find answers to issues in the process of creating this article, observation and a review of the literature are the methods used for gathering data.Since the research area falls inside the purview of qualitative research and aligns with the goals of the study, a qualitative approach method will be applied.As per the findings of Petrus Soerjowinoto et al., the qualitative approach places emphasis on the researcher's comprehension of the issue formulation process in order to develop a comprehensive and intricate legal phenomenon (Petrus Soerjowinoto, 2006).

Approach
Law (UU) No. 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE) is an example of a rule that can be used as a basis for studying problems and their legal consequences.This is known as the normative juridical approach, which is the juridical approach method used to study problems in terms of law and statutory regulations.
Enhancing the Role of Artificial Intelligence Technology in the Role of Court Judges in Indonesia via Normative Judicial Approach Based on Specific Statutory Regulations or Written Laws (Soemitro, 1990) This paper outlines the context of the topic being studied, with a particular emphasis on regulation and enhancing the function of AI technology in the practice of court judges in Indonesia.

Strengthening the Role of Artificial Intelligence Technology in the Role of Court Judges in Indonesia
In light of the present, artificial intelligence (AI) is still in the early stages of development since it is still controlled by humans.It is possible, nevertheless, that AI will go beyond human capabilities to the point where it can operate without requiring human intervention.An electronic agent is a device from an electronic system that is intended to act automatically on precise electronic information that is held by a person, according to Article 1 Number 8 of Law (UU) no.19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law no.11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (UU ITE).According to this definition, AI as it exists now is an electronic agent as it is still controlled by a human who wants to utilize it to carry out a certain task.The definition of Article 1 Point 8 of the ITE Law can no longer serve as a foundation for governing AI in Indonesia if AI growth surpasses human action.
The use of information technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), in electronic transactions is covered under Law Number 11 of 2008 Governing Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE).The use of AI in many facets of digital life now has a legal foundation thanks to this rule.In addition to the ITE Law, the government has issued Government Regulation Number 71 of 2019 on the AI Development Policy and its Implementation.The application of artificial intelligence development policies in Indonesia, including the usage of AI in the public and private sectors, is governed by this government regulation.
To safeguard the community's interests, regulations need to be created to account for this.It is in line with what progressive legal scholar Satjipto Rahardjo said about progressive law, which holds that human welfare and pleasure are the goals of law, not the law's existence for its own sake as suggested by positive legal science.As a result, law is perpetually "law in the making"-that is, it is constantly undergoing a revolution of becoming (Rahardjo, 2010).
Please note that law enforcement conducted by a device or tool will be treated differently from law enforcement carried out by a human.According to Riki Perdana Waruwu, when handling cases, a judge is responsible for upholding three types of justice: legal justice, moral justice, and social justice.Additionally, Abdurrahman Rahim has noted that AI cannot be utilized in law enforcement techniques, as it cannot be deemed a reliable source.AI cannot provide justice even though it uses algorithms, and AI cannot consider the merits of a problem.AI will never be able to replace the profession of a judge, because AI cannot think like humans who have feelings, intentions, and conscience ("'Apakah Hakim Bisa Digantikan oleh AI? ', mahkamahagung. go.id., 27 September 2023', mahkamahagung. go.id., 27 September ," 2021)).
The idea of Law Enforcement through the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology itself can be described as follows: a. Crime Prediction.
AI can be used to analyze historical crime and community data, allowing law enforcement to predict the location and timing of potential crimes.b.Fraud and Corruption Detection.
With fast and in-depth data analysis capabilities, AI can help detect patterns of fraud, corruption, or other criminal acts that are difficult to detect manually.c.Digital Evidence Processing.
AI can be used to identify, analyze, and interpret digital evidence such as text messages, emails, and video recordings, thereby strengthening legal cases.d.Supervision and Monitoring.
AI systems can be used to monitor the behavior of law enforcement officers, identify potential ethical violations, and evaluate performance and compliance with legal procedures.e.Interest and Compliance Risk Analysis.
AI can help in analyzing the risk of conflicts of interest in law enforcement agencies, as well as ensuring that decisions and actions taken are within the applicable legal framework.f.Data-Based Decision Making.
By utilizing data and AI analysis, law enforcement can make more objective, accurate, and fast decisions based on strong evidence.g.Improving the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Law Enforcement.
The use of AI in law enforcement can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the investigation, supervision, and law enforcement processes as a whole.
By using AI technology wisely and by legal principles, it is hoped that the application of the ITE Law in law enforcement efforts can be more effective, and efficient and provide guarantees of justice for society in the current digital era.Globally speaking, digital technology has really been used to facilitate the operationalization of rules, which is far more effective and efficient.Digital technology is starting to play a part in public services in Indonesia, including online law, e-courts, and the formation of legal organizations.Accordingly, according to "Article 1 Number 8 of the ITE Law," the position of artificial intelligence (AI) is that of a tool or application that helps human work become more accurate and effective, or it is an electronic agent, or something akin to a device from an electronic system that acts against an automatic electronic system based on human commands.
Naturally, even if the system is intended for an application, human interaction is still necessary for it to function; an application cannot draw conclusions on its own without human input (Anshori, 2022).It is intended that by integrating AI technology into many facets of Indonesian law enforcement, the effectiveness, precision, and equity of the legal system would be enhanced.Artificial intelligence has rapidly become a part of legal practice in an era where technological advancement is accelerating.According to a survey conducted by (Thomas S. Clay and Eric A. Seeger., n.d.), among managing partners of US law firms with 50 lawyers or more, more than 36% of law firms and more than 90% of large law firms that employ more than 1,000 lawyers actively use artificial intelligence systems in their legal practices.
As for Strengthening the Role of Artificial Intelligence Technology in the Role of Court Judges in Indonesia, it can be explained as follows: 1. In-depth Data Analysis.
