Legal Protection for Victims of Deepfake Pornography Under Indonesian Positive Law

Nia Kurnia, Laili Nur Anisah

Abstract


The advancement of technology has led to the emergence of deepfake, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven algorithm capable of manipulating images and videos falsely, contributing to issues such as the proliferation of fake pornography. This research aims to analyze whether the misuse of deepfake applications can be considered a criminal offense and identify relevant legal regulations. Using a normative juridical research method, the findings indicate that the misuse of deepfake can be classified as a criminal act due to its societal harm, repetitive nature, and elicitation of social reactions. Potential criminal classifications may involve offenses related to pornography, fraud, and defamation, depending on the targets and losses incurred. Specific regulations governing AI are crucial to protect individual rights and support technological development. Although AI is regulated under the Information and Electronic Transactions Act, the absence of dedicated legislation results in ineffective sanctions against crimes like deepfake pornography. The establishment of dedicated laws is essential not only to safeguard victims but also to prevent the emergence of other offenses alongside the limitless progress of technology.
