The Ministry of Science and Technology continues to provide guidance and promptly address any difficulties or obstacles arising during the use of artificial intelligence solutions to support the review of legal documents.

The Deputy Prime Minister also directed the Ministry of Justice to continue to promote its role as the Standing Agency of the Steering Committee, proactively coordinate with the National Assembly's Law and Justice Committee in carrying out the Steering Committee's tasks, urge ministries, sectors, and localities to organize a comprehensive review, and promptly report to the Head and Deputy Head of the Steering Committee on issues beyond their authority.
