On March 18, information from the Ministry of Justice said that Minister Nguyen Hai Ninh has just issued a number of instructions on continuing to research the application of AI virtual assistants in the development and testing and reviewing of legal documents.
The Minister assessed that this is a necessary task, requiring a specific plan and clearly defining the goals and requirements for output products. The Minister said that with the name "Developing artificial intelligence (AI) to serve the work of building and testing legal documents", the scope will be more widespread than at present.
With the specific goal of directly serving professional tasks, the immediate priority is to support the work of developing and testing legal documents, it is necessary to clarify the requirements for AI, such as supporting document appraisal (determining the constitutionality, legality, unity of the legal system, detecting conflicts and overlaps); document inspection (assessing the authority to issue, legal validity, compliance with international treaties and international regulations).
Minister Nguyen Hai Ninh proposed to assign the Department of Document Inspection and Administrative Violation Handling as a unit, presiding over the establishment of a working group with the participation of the Department of Information Technology and law-making units.
This group will be responsible for developing a detailed paper and making specific requirements for the service unit to implement. The implementation needs to be carried out step by step, with a clear roadmap.
Regarding the application of digital transformation in law-making, the Minister suggested that law-making units and the Department of Information Technology continue to strengthen coordination; complete reports; review and evaluate the progress and funding of software and applications that the Ministry of Justice is presiding over.
Previously, according to Mr. Pham Quang Hieu - Director of the Department of Information Technology (Ministry of Justice), regarding the testing results, the virtual Assistant has supported reviewing and detecting conflicts of authority regarding the form of legal documents, identifying the form and authority of the document (including incorrect models and correct models regarding authority and form); Checking the effectiveness of the base documents and reference documents in the process of reviewing legal documents;
However, the implementation of the virtual assistant testing still has some limitations in terms of data, functions, techniques, user experience and deployment time.
