Algorithmic Governance and Due Process in Indonesia’s Administrative Decision-Making

Putri Naylarizki Lasamano, Fence M. Wantu, Ahmad Ahmad

Abstract


Rapid advancements in algorithmic governance have transformed public administration, yet they often challenge traditional principles of due process, this study addresses a critical regulatory vacuum in Indonesia, specifically the absence of statutory limits governing Automated Decision-Making (ADM) systems in administrative acts. The objective of this research is to analyze how administrative justice can be maintained amidst technological integration, specifically comparing the frameworks of the European Union and the innovation-centric policies of South Korea. This study employs a normative legal research method with a normative legal research method and a comparative approach. The principal findings indicate that while algorithmic system increase efficiency, they often compromise procedural fairness due to a lack of transparency. The novelty of this study lies in proposing a structural modification to the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) specifically tailored for electronic government systems to prevent unchecked abuses of digital authority. The legal implication of these finding is the urgent need for statutory updates in administrative law to regulate automated system and safeguard citizens’ right.
