The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought extraordinary benefits to various sectors of human life. However, behind its potential, AI also carries serious risks to digital security and the environment. Misuse of AI, including manipulation of emission data, the spread of environmental disinformation, and the use of autonomous AI to hide illegal industrial activities, creates new challenges for criminal law and environmental law. This study uses a normative and conceptual legal approach to examine forms of the misuse of AI and their implications for the global environmental law system. The results show that Indonesia does not yet have adequate regulations. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a new legal framework that is interdisciplinary, responsive to technological developments, and pays attention to the precautionary principle in international environmental law.
