Legal Challenges in the Development of Green AI to Support Indonesia's National and International Commitments to Sustainable Technology
Main Article Content
Abstract
Green AI has great potential in supporting sustainability efforts through the application of environmentally friendly technologies that can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. However, legal arrangements related to the development of Green AI in Indonesia are still limited, despite the urgency to integrate AI in the sustainable technology ecosystem. Environmental protection through Green AI policy requires a clear and in-depth legal framework to ensure the contribution of this technology to sustainability goals. This research aims to analyze the legal and policy challenges needed to support the development of Green AI in Indonesia. The method used in this research is juridical-normative research, by analyzing secondary data from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that Green AI has great potential to support sustainability in Indonesia, but is hampered by the lack of specific regulations. The government needs to develop policies that include operational standards, green certification, and incentives for companies that adopt green technologies. Concrete steps such as accelerating licensing, supporting research, and encouraging public-private sector collaboration will significantly increase the practical impact of Green AI.
