Abstract

Digitalization has become a transformational force in various sectors of life, including the legal system. These changes require the law to adapt rapidly to dynamic and disruptive technological developments. This article aims to examine the legal challenges and opportunities in the digital era and formulate strategies for adapting national law to these developments. This research uses a normative juridical method with a conceptual and regulatory approach. The study results indicate that the main legal challenges in the digital era include regulatory gaps regarding new technologies, weak personal data protection, threats to digital human rights, and ethical issues in the use of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, digitalization opens up opportunities for increased efficiency, transparency, and access to justice. Therefore, inclusive legal reform, strengthening of personal data monitoring institutions, increasing digital literacy for law enforcement officers, and protecting human rights in the digital space are needed. This study is expected to contribute to the development of an adaptive, progressive, and technology-based Indonesian legal system.
