The development of AI is now changing many aspects of our lives, especially in the digital world. However, along with these advances, new challenges have arisen, particularly in the form of digital disinformation. Technologies such as deepfake and voice cloning have made it easy to manipulate a person’s image or voice, often for malicious purposes such as online fraud and the spread of fake news. This study focuses on the ethical violations that occur with the use of AI, particularly in the context of these technologies. It also evaluates the effectiveness of Indonesia's legal framework in combating digital disinformation. Using qualitative research methods based on literature studies, the results highlight several ethical concerns. Fundamental principles such as responsibility, honesty, and justice are often overlooked in the development and application of AI, leading to unethical behavior in the digital sphere. Additionally, the study reveals that the legal regulations currently in place in Indonesia are insufficient to adequately protect the public from the potential abuses of AI technology. This research emphasizes the need for stronger legal and ethical standards to address the growing concerns about AI misuse and to safeguard the public from digital manipulation and disinformation.

Oil and natural gas are vital resources for the state, and their management must be carried out carefully and transparently. However, the complexity of existing management is often exploited by irresponsible parties to commit corruption that harms state finances. This study aims to analyze how criminal law regulates the accountability of perpetrators in the oil management corruption case at Pertamina in 2025. The method used is normative juridical, by reviewing laws and regulations regarding corruption, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), and related legal literature. The results of the study indicate that criminal liability in this case is not only directed at individual officials, but also corporations or companies. This is because the element of mens rea (malicious intent) was found in the act. Therefore, law enforcement must focus more on recovering state losses and improving Pertamina's internal oversight system, rather than simply imprisoning the perpetrators.

This study aims to analyze the issue of online gambling in Indonesia and examine the urgency of extradition agreements as a legal instrument to prosecute online gambling operators who conduct their activities from abroad. Although gambling has been declared a criminal act under the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law), its enforcement has not been effective due to the transnational nature of this crime, in which gambling operators run their platforms from other countries, placing them beyond the direct reach of Indonesian jurisdiction. The research employs a normative legal methodology, examining statutory regulations, principles of criminal law, and relevant legal literature. The objects of study include the 1945 Constitution, the Criminal Code, and the ITE Law as the legal foundations for combating online gambling, as well as provisions concerning extradition within the framework of international cooperation. The findings indicate that although Indonesia normatively possesses legal grounds to prosecute perpetrators abroad through the principles of personality and protection, implementation remains hindered by state sovereignty and jurisdictional limits. Government efforts to block gambling websites have proven ineffective, as new sites continually emerge. Therefore, extradition agreements are essential and urgent as a solution to overcome jurisdictional barriers, enabling the transfer of offenders to Indonesia for prosecution and ensuring state protection for citizens from the harmful impacts of online gambling.

Business legality is an urgent need for MSMEs, particularly in the food sector, which faces strict regulations and high risks to food safety. However, many MSMEs still lack a Business Identification Number (NIB) or Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection due to low digital literacy and a lack of understanding of licensing procedures. This situation emphasizes the urgency of mentoring so that MSMEs can operate legally and be legally protected. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to assist the Golden Kriuq MSME in obtaining an NIB and increase business owners' understanding of the importance of IPR, branding, and digital marketing. The implementation method uses a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, education, documentation, and direct mentoring. Activities carried out include NIB registration through the OSS Indonesia application, logo, banner, and menu design, business Instagram account creation, location determination on Google Maps, and education on the stages of brand registration through the DJKI system. The results show that Golden Kriuq successfully obtained an NIB, has a more consistent visual identity, and has a more professional digital presence. The program's impact is evident in increased awareness of legality, digital administration readiness, and businesses' ability to compete more professionally and sustainably.

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) of the General Elections Commission (KPU) of Palangka Raya City in supporting the strengthening of democracy and public participation at the local level. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design through documentary studies on regulations, internal policies of KPU, PPID service reports, and public information request data, enriched with observations of the information service mechanisms both offline and online. The results show that, normatively and structurally, the PPID of Palangka Raya City KPU has carried out its functions in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 14 of 2008 and KPU Regulation No. 22 of 2023. The information service procedures, response time limits, and the use of the E-PPID system reflect the institutional commitment to the principle of transparency. However, the level of utilization of public information services is still relatively low and dominated by the academic community, particularly students. Additionally, there have been no recorded requests for information from disabled groups, despite the provision of disability-friendly facilities. These findings indicate a gap between administrative information openness and substantive public participation. This study concludes that strengthening the role of PPID in the future should be directed toward public communication strategies, political education, and inclusive approaches so that information openness does not stop at regulatory compliance but can make a tangible contribution to the consolidation of a participatory and just local democracy.

This research analyzes the legal status of zakat within the state financial system and explores its potential integration as a sharia-based fiscal instrument in Indonesia through a comparative study with Malaysia. In Islamic law, zakat functions both as a religious obligation and as a mechanism for wealth redistribution aimed at achieving social justice. However, under Indonesia’s positive law framework, zakat is still treated as a socio-religious institution outside the formal state fiscal system, as stipulated in Law Number 23 of 2011 on Zakat Management. In contrast, Malaysia has successfully integrated zakat into its Islamic fiscal policy through the authority of the State Islamic Religious Council (MAIN), which holds legal legitimacy as a regional public body. This study adopts a normative and comparative legal approach by examining statutory regulations, Islamic legal doctrines, and zakat institutional practices in both countries. The findings indicate that the integration of zakat into Indonesia’s fiscal system is constitutionally permissible and does not conflict with Article 23A and Article 34 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, as it aligns with welfare state principles and the state’s responsibility toward poverty alleviation. The legal implications of such integration include the establishment of lex specialis regulating zakat as a sharia fiscal instrument, harmonization with state finance laws, and the strengthening of institutional legitimacy and accountability in zakat management. Therefore, zakat holds significant potential to become a core pillar of Islamic economic law that supports economic equity and enhances national fiscal resilience.

This study examines the role of officially appointed amil zakat in enhancing transparency and accountability in zakat governance in Mojopuro Village, Wonogiri Regency. Prior to this initiative, Mojopuro had no Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ), resulting in zakat practices that were traditional, undocumented, and lacking institutional oversight. Through a series of mentoring activities and seminars conducted from 8–18 September 2025, capacity-building efforts were directed toward prospective amil zakat, village officials, and religious leaders, focusing on zakat regulations, principles of transparency, and both vertical and horizontal accountability. The implementation methods included material delivery, group discussions, and consultative sessions, which ultimately led to the formal appointment of official amil zakat by the Wonogiri Regency BAZNAS. The findings demonstrate that the presence of official amil significantly improved the structural management of zakat, enhanced participants’ understanding of transparency and accountability, and strengthened coordination among amil, village administrators, and religious figures. These results indicate that village-based institutional mentoring can foster a transformative shift from traditional zakat practices toward professional, transparent, and accountable governance. This study thus offers a community-based empowerment model that can be replicated in other villages to improve zakat distribution effectiveness and build public trust in formal zakat institutions.

The advancement of information technology has increased very rapidly, one of which can be seen from the use of cell phones as the main communication tool. However, this progress also creates a gap, for the emergence of cybercrime such as fraud through short messages or called Short Message Service (SMS). Fraud via SMS by offering prizes is one form of misuse of information technology that is increasingly prevalent in the digital era. This mode of fraud is often carried out because it takes advantage of the lack of public awareness of information security and tends to target individuals who do not understand how communication technology works. This article discusses how the mechanism of fraud carried out via SMS, the impact caused to victims, and how legal regulations in Indonesia handle prize fraud via SMS. This research uses normative research methods conducted through data collection from various references including journals and laws and regulations. This research is expected to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the role of law in tackling SMS-based fraud and offer solutions that can strengthen consumer protection in the digital era.

The development of digitalization has brought significant progress in the dissemination and accessibility of creative works, particularly through digital platforms that enable rapid and widespread distribution. The digitalization of creative works provides significant opportunities for creators and the creative industry to expand market reach and increase creative productivity. However, on the other hand, this progress also poses various challenges, particularly related to the increase in copyright infringement such as piracy, unauthorized duplication, and illegal distribution of digital content. This article aims to examine criminal acts against copyright infringement in the digital era based on Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. The research methods used are literature study and case analysis to identify types of digital copyright infringement, the application of criminal law, obstacles in law enforcement, and possible solutions. In addition, this article also analyzes the effectiveness of applicable legal regulations and the impact of copyright infringement on the sustainability of the creative industry. The results of the study indicate that firm and adaptive law enforcement to technological developments is crucial to protect creators' rights and maintain the sustainability of creativity in the digital era.  

In recent years, there have been more and more cases of misuse of social media accounts, especially Instagram, through hacking carried out by individuals for illegal purposes. These hacks often involve using the victim's account for fraudulent actions, such as requesting money via the direct messaging feature to the account's followers. This problem raises a number of legal questions, including how the law regulates hacking and fraud on social media platforms such as Instagram, as well as the types of criminal sanctions that can be imposed on perpetrators. This research uses a normative legal approach to analyze existing regulations, especially the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE). Based on the ITE Law, hacking is defined as an illegal activity to access, take or transfer electronic system data without permission, which can be subject to criminal penalties in the form of imprisonment and/or fines. In addition, if hacking is followed by fraud, the perpetrator can be charged with additional articles related to fraud as regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP). This research also highlights the important role of social media organizers in protecting users through developing security features such as data verification. It is hoped that the results of this research can contribute to strengthening legal protection for social media users in the digital era.

In Indonesia, copyright infringement in the music sector continues to be a significant issue, particularly when musical works are commercially exploited by businesses. This study examines the accountability of businesses towards music royalty payments through a case study of Mie Gacoan and the Collective Management Institute (LMK) SELMI. The research method used is normative juridical with additional research data collected through literature review, including related regulations and various previous studies on music copyright protection. The results of the study confirm that businesses are obliged to pay royalties for the use of copyrighted works, as stipulated in Law Number 28 of 2014 and Government Regulation Number 56 of 2021 concerning Song/Music Royalty Management. The dispute between Mie Gacoan and LMK SELMI demonstrates the weak awareness of businesses regarding legal obligations and highlights the importance of the LMK's role in ensuring the fulfillment of creators' economic rights. This study emphasizes that legal certainty, the level of public awareness of the law, and consistency in law enforcement are important factors in realizing copyright protection in Indonesia.

The weak mechanism for royalty payments to songwriters in Indonesia, despite Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright clearly regulating moral rights and economic rights. In practice, there are still various violations in the form of unauthorized use of songs, low compliance with royalty payments, and suboptimal performance of Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) and National Collective Management Organizations (NCMOs). This study aims to analyze the concept of songwriters' economic rights, the mechanism for managing royalties, and the effectiveness of legal protection in its implementation. The research method uses a normative juridical approach by examining laws and regulations as well as conceptual data related to copyright management. The results show that although regulations have provided a strong legal basis, the implementation of royalty payment mechanisms still faces structural and technical obstacles, including the transparency of CMOs, the legal awareness of users of works, and weak law enforcement against violations. This study emphasizes the importance of improving the mechanisms for collecting and distributing royalties so that the protection of the economic rights of creators can be carried out effectively and fairly.

 Digital transformation in public service is an inevitable necessity in the era of modern governance. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Smart Civil Registration System (Smart System Dukcapil) in digital administrative services in Palangka Raya City as part of the national e-government initiative and the strengthening of electronic-based governance. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis of relevant regulations and the implementation of the system within the Department of Population and Civil Registration (Disdukcapil) of Palangka Raya City.The findings indicate that the implementation of the Smart System Dukcapil through applications such as the Sistem Informasi Dukcapil Oloh Itah (SI-DOI) and Digital Population Identity (IKD) has significantly improved efficiency, transparency, and data accuracy in population administration services. These digital innovations have streamlined bureaucratic processes, minimized physical interaction, and enhanced public satisfaction with administrative services. However, the system’s effectiveness is still constrained by challenges such as limited internet infrastructure in peripheral areas, low digital literacy among citizens, and inadequate technical capacity among civil servants in operating digital systems optimally. Theoretically, the implementation of the Smart System Dukcapil reflects the realization of good governance and smart governance principles through the integration of technology, bureaucratic reform, and community participation. This study recommends strengthening human resource capacity, expanding digital infrastructure, and promoting continuous public education to ensure system sustainability. Consequently, digital population administration in Palangka Raya has the potential to become an innovative, inclusive, and adaptive model for regional public service governance.

This Community Service Program aims to enhance the practical abilities of educational staff in understanding and implementing the Electronic Employee Performance Target (e-SKP) system within the Faculty of Economics and Business, Cenderawasih University. The training program was designed to meet the needs of staff for practical knowledge regarding digital performance appraisal systems in accordance with the latest civil service regulations. The training applied an andragogical approach, emphasizing adult learning experiences through simulations, focused group discussions, and hands-on practice in using the e-SKP application. The resource person, Sukrisman, S.T., M.Cs., provided technical guidance and interactive assistance throughout the activity. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills in operating the e-SKP application, as evidenced by their ability to independently prepare performance reports and actively engage in evaluation discussions. Moreover, participants gained a better understanding of the relationship between job descriptions, positions, and daily logs with performance indicators measured through e-SKP. Future development of this program will focus on implementing a study-program-based approach and integrating the e-SKP system with the faculty’s overall performance planning framework.

Guidance and counseling is assistance provided to students, either individually or in groups, so they can become more independent and develop optimally in various areas such as personal relationships, social relationships, learning, and careers. This assistance is provided through several types of services and activities in accordance with applicable regulations. Observation and interviews are among the methods used by guidance and counseling teachers to gather information in carrying out their duties at school. Guidance and counseling services at SMPN 2 Telukjambe Timur run smoothly. Guidance and counseling teachers play a creative, innovative, interactive, and communicative role in carrying out their duties. In addition, guidance and counseling teachers are also supported by the presence of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers. The partnership between guidance and counseling teachers is very good and very important, because both have the same goal: to shape good character in students at school.

Islamic boarding schools and madrassas play an important role in the formation of religious character and education in Indonesia. The transformation of the regulations of these two institutions is crucial to adjust educational practices to the principles of the state of law of Pancasila. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the regulation of Islamic boarding schools and madrasah diniyyah and its impact on the internalization of Pancasila values. The method used is qualitative descriptive through the study of documents, including laws and regulations and related literature. The results of the study show that there are significant changes, such as formal recognition of institutional status, curriculum standards, and accreditation mechanisms, which strengthen operational legality and the application of Pancasila values. In addition, the latest regulations also encourage the improvement of the quality of governance, transparency of institutional management, and strengthening the role of the community in the education process. The implementation of these regulations also provides space for learning innovation, integration of religious moderation, and adaptation to social development. In conclusion, the harmonization of these regulations allows for religious education that is relevant to the national context while maintaining religious identity. This research provides the basis for the development of a balanced Islamic education policy between state authorities, the needs of students, and the autonomy of educational institutions in the face of modern challenges and increasingly complex social changes.

The dynamics of the positions of DPR members cannot be separated from the political activities of lame ducks. However, the lame duck era became problematic because the DPR's legislative activity suddenly increased rapidly towards the end of its term. This increase was accompanied by the controversial passing of a number of bills. This study will examine the urgency of the need for change and the formation of new laws during the lame duck era and the dynamics of the legislative process during the lame duck era of political leadership in Indonesia, using doctrinal research with a legislative and conceptual approach. Based on the research results, it is known that changes and the formation of new laws during the lame duck era lack urgency but will have a negative impact on the quality of legislation and public trust in the government. The dynamics of the legislative process during the lame duck era of political leadership in Indonesia can be reflected in the formation of the fourth revision of the Constitutional Court Bill and the Law on State Ministries. Furthermore, since the first level of deliberation, the process has been closed and rushed without significant public participation. Moreover, Indonesia is currently in a transitional position towards a new government. Therefore, no new regulations should be enacted during this transitional period, as the drafting of the Constitutional Court Bill fails to meet the philosophical, sociological, and legal requirements. Furthermore, the enactment of the State Ministry Law has also sparked controversy, ranging from its substance to its procedural basis.

This research examines the implementation of tax planning for Value Added Tax (VAT) at the XYZ Accounting Firm (KJA) to enhance tax efficiency. In Indonesia, the self-assessment tax system requires taxpayers to calculate and report their own taxes, prompting businesses to seek strategies to minimize tax burdens and maximize profits. VAT, as a consumption-based tax, represents a significant source of government revenue. KJA XYZ supports its clients in VAT planning through measures such as utilizing automated Excel tools and providing education on tax regulations. Despite these efforts, challenges such as invoice data discrepancies have been identified. To address these issues, it is recommended that KJA XYZ further develop its automation systems and enhance communication with clients. The findings of this study indicate that effective VAT planning contributes positively to clients’ tax efficiency.

The advancement of information technology has profoundly transformed the criminal justice system, particularly in judicial proceedings that now utilize digital platforms such as e-court and e-litigation. Although judicial digitalization aims to enhance efficiency and transparency, it simultaneously raises critical concerns regarding judicial independence in the exercise of adjudicative authority. This study employs a normative juridical approach to examine how digital transformation affects the principle of judicial independence and to reconstruct its concept in accordance with the rule of law. The analysis is based on statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and principles governing judicial power. The findings indicate that the integration of technology into judicial processes may create administrative and technological dependencies that potentially undermine the autonomy of judges in deciding criminal cases. Therefore, a redefinition of judicial independence is necessary—one that extends beyond institutional guarantees to include ethical and personal integrity aspects through the reinforcement of judicial accountability and technological transparency. This study recommends the formulation of ethical standards and technical regulations that explicitly limit administrative or external interference with judges in the digital judicial environment, thereby maintaining a balance between technological efficiency and substantive justice.
