Digital Society and the Impact of Technological Change Adjusting the Legal System to Address Legal Challenges Arising from New Technologies and Globalization

Abstract

The development of digital technology and globalization has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, including legal systems around the world. In Indonesia, rapid technological changes, such as the internet, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and blockchain, pose new challenges that require adaptation in legal regulation. This research aims to explore the impact of technological change on the Indonesian legal system, and assess the extent to which the legal system needs to adapt to meet the challenges arising from technological development and globalization. The research identifies key legal issues, such as personal data protection, cybercrime, intellectual property rights, and regulatory differences between countries, which are increasingly complex in the digital era. The research method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive and exploratory analysis, which includes case studies as well as a review of applicable legal regulations in Indonesia. The results show that Indonesia's legal system requires updates and adjustments to face the legal challenges posed by technological developments, especially in terms of personal data protection, cybercrime countermeasures, and regulation of intellectual property rights in the digital world. The research also recommends the importance of international cooperation in handling cybercrime and the need for regulatory harmonization at the global level. The findings provide a strong basis for the development of legal policies that are more responsive to the dynamics of technological development, and lead to further research on the ethical implications of the use of artificial intelligence in legal decision-making.
