BEKASI, Public Relations—Artificial intelligence (AI) can help staff members with their work, said the Constitutional Court’s (MK) Secretary-General M. Guntur Hamzah when opening a workshop on “Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and Cybersecurity in the Judiciary” on Friday afternoon, December 17, 2021 in Bekasi.
In his remarks, he said that ICT not only stands for information and communication technology, but also for integrity, clean, and trustworthy. As an analogy, AI and the internet of things are comparable to the things required to master in soccer to have a good defense, while cybersecurity as the brake.
“So, we can anticipate to avoid cyber breaches. However, there’s no need to feel haunted by cybersecurity because where there is advanced technology, there is always the aspect of danger to it. But without thinking about risks, we don't move forward. The important thing is that we go first. If there is a risk,” he said.
Guntur said that in facing the challenges of technological advances, the Court can coordinate, integrate, synchronize, simplify, monitor, and evaluate (Indonesian: KISS ME). “Working not only by oneself but with many other things. Working collaboratively in order to advance. We built the ETERNAL system (the Ecosystem of Technology and Modern Judiciary and Digital Culture Transformation),” he said.
Staff members, Guntur said, must achieve paperless work using technological advances and through the transformation to digital culture. One of the ways was through the implementation of ETERNAL, which consists of the Judiciary Administration System (JAS) and the General Administration System (GAS). “Both must be developed with digital culture. Both must run hand in hand, so that JAS and GAS will be carried out more easily,” he said.
Meanwhile, in his report, Acting Head of the Center for Information and Communication Technology Sigit Purnomo said that since established, the Court had been designed to be a modern and trusted judicial body. Modern means that all of its activities are carried out effectively and efficiently using ICT, meaning that the Court’s performance is based on actual-progressive mindset, leaving behind conventional mindset.
“Hopefully the workshop will motivate all of us so that the artificial intelligence technology will be realized and implemented in the Constitutional Court soon,” he said.
On the first day of the workshop, the Head of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Hasanuddin University Indrabayu said AI would not replace humans, including in the Constitutional Court. He mentioned how Mark Zuckerberg had created the Meta universe and expressed his hope that Indonesia would prepare and create its own AI. “Because foreign AI might not fit the Indonesian culture,” Sigit said.
The workshop took place on Friday-Sunday (December 17-19) with 28 participants from the Court’s Center for Information and Communication Technology and Inspectorate. It was organized because the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) was building the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) as one of the executors of cybersecurity to develop it in Indonesia following the Presidential Regulation No.18 of 2020 on the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) of 2020-2024, which mandated the development of 121 CSIRTs as a strategic priority project. The CSIRT team will serve to minimize and control damages due to cyber incidents and provides effective mitigation and recovery responses as well as prevents future cyber incidents.
The CSIRT will be the main force in guarding the information security system in the Constitutional Court. It is expected to achieve information security stability in the electronic-based government system (SPBE). BSSN surely cannot stand on its own, thus active participation of all stakeholders is necessary to solve incidents swiftly, accurately, and effectively. It recommended that all government institutions establish CSIRT. The more CSIRT is established in the government, the more independent and prepared the nation will be in facing cyber incidents and in contributing to guarding cybersecurity in Indonesia.
