The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought significant challenges to the legal system, especially regarding copyright protection. The ability of AI to produce works independently raises questions about originality, ownership, and legal responsibility. Existing legal systems are designed to protect human works, so they are not fully prepared to accommodate AI innovation. This article discusses the legal challenges presented by AI works and how the law can adapt to provide adequate protection. Approaches such as expanding the definition of originality, regulating contribution-based ownership, and harmonizing international policies are proposed as solutions. With inclusive regulation and responsive law enforcement, it is hoped that the legal system can maintain a balance between encouraging technological innovation and protecting human creative rights.

In Indonesia's correctional system, correctional institutions play a vital role, particularly in educating offenders, including juvenile offenders. Juvenile offenders are individuals under 17 years of age or those who do not yet possess an ID card, commonly referred to as children.

Murder is an inhumane criminal act and can be considered a heinous act, as it takes another person's life, whether done instantly or with prior planning. In the investigation process of a murder case, a specific procedure is required to uncover the incident, namely an autopsy. An autopsy is the examination of a deceased body, deemed to have died unnaturally, by performing surgical procedures to determine the cause of death, estimate the time of death, identify unidentified bodies, uncover the perpetrator, and more. The findings from the autopsy are compiled into a written report prepared by a forensic doctor, known as visum et repertum. Before drafting the visum et repertum, the forensic doctor takes an oath to ensure that the contents of the report can be held accountable. This report will later be used in court as evidence to support other evidence related to the murder.  

In bankruptcy proceedings, the presence of third parties whose assets are made part of the bankruptcy estate often leads to legal conflicts. The bankruptcy estate is a collection of assets managed by the curator to pay off the debtor's obligations to creditors. Problems arise when third-party assets, which should not be included in the bankruptcy estate, are included without a clear legal basis. This research aims to analyze the legal remedies that can be taken by third parties to protect their rights and interests. By reviewing the provisions in the Bankruptcy Law, as well as the prevailing practice, this study demonstrates the importance of verification of assets by the curator prior to inclusion in the bankruptcy estate. Legal procedures such as opposition (verzet) can be taken by third parties to challenge the curator's decision in the commercial court. The findings of this study highlight the need for a better understanding of third party rights and the legal mechanisms in place to prevent abuse of curator authority. It is hoped that this study will provide guidance to third parties in taking appropriate legal steps and strengthening legal protection in the bankruptcy process.
