PERADI Issues Ethical Guidelines for AI Use by Advocates in Indonesia
The Indonesian Advocates Association (PERADI) has officially issued new ethical guidelines regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for advocates in Indonesia. These rules were announced on August 6, 2026, in response to the increasingly rapid technological developments in the legal world.
The guidelines affirm that AI technology can be utilized by lawyers to assist in their daily work. The use of this technology is expected to improve efficiency in legal research, document drafting, and complex data analysis for legal practitioners in the country.
However, PERADI emphasizes that the use of AI must remain within strict professional ethical corridors. Advocates remain fully responsible for every work product generated by AI systems. This is done to ensure that the quality and accuracy of legal advice provided to clients are maintained and can be professionally accounted for.
This step was taken in light of the digital revolution that is changing the way various professions work in Indonesia, including the legal field. With clear rules in place, advocates are expected to be able to adapt to modern technology without violating the principles of integrity that form the foundation of their profession.
Overall, these guidelines represent an important step for the Indonesian legal world in facing the digital era. It is hoped that advocates can use AI technology as a positive supporting tool to provide better and faster legal services to the public.
