AI Technology Can Drive Transparency in the Era of Regulatory Complexity
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — The ongoing complexity of regulations demands that the business world and legal practitioners work more quickly and accurately. Amid these needs, transparency in legal analysis is becoming a key factor, no longer just about the speed of producing answers.
The launch of AI-based legal technology now focuses not only on the ability to answer questions but also on tracing the legal basis behind every answer. This is considered essential to ensure accountability and minimise the risk of regulatory interpretation errors.
Veritask, a legal tech company, has introduced AiYU as an Agentic AI platform designed to address these challenges. Unlike conventional legal AI, this system displays detailed reference sources, from articles and laws to the status of regulatory changes.
One user from the legal practitioners’ circle considers transparency to be the main differentiating factor in using this technology.
“What makes me comfortable using AiYU is its transparency. I can see where each answer comes from and check it myself if needed,” said Navy Sasmita, Legal Manager at an energy company.
This approach marks a paradigm shift in legal technology. Previously, AI functioned only as a question-and-answer machine; now it has evolved into an auditable and openly traceable work tool.
Veritask’s Chief Product & Technology Officer, Eugenius Mario, emphasised that accountability is the primary foundation in the future development of legal technology.
“We are not building a legal chatbot. We are building a system that can audit its own answers. In the legal industry, what can be held accountable is more important than what is the fastest,” he said.
The need for a transparent system is increasingly relevant as cross-sector regulatory dynamics intensify. Changes in laws, policy revisions, and an ever-increasing number of court decisions make manual monitoring processes inefficient.
AiYU adopts the concept of regulatory intelligence, namely the system’s ability to proactively monitor regulatory changes and provide impact analysis on businesses. Supported by hundreds of thousands of regulations and millions of court decisions, this technology is expected to help legal and compliance teams work more systematically.
In addition to regulatory research, the platform also provides features for drafting legal documents, translation, and contract reviews in one integrated system. All processes are carried out in a single workflow without needing to switch between platforms.
On the other hand, the emergence of this technology also reflects efforts to democratise legal services. Veritask’s Chief Legal & Co-Founder, Dr. Sri H. Rahayu, believes that access to quality legal services should not be a luxury item. “I want good legal access to stop being a luxury item,” she said.
With the increasingly complex regulatory landscape in Indonesia, the need for legal AI that is not only fast but also accountable is expected to continue to grow.
