Research by the Ministry of Justice shows that the application of artificial intelligence in lawmaking and enforcement still faces difficulties and obstacles; a unified national legal data ecosystem has not yet been formed due to scattered data, lack of standardization, and insufficient integration and interoperability between systems. The exploitation of big data and the application of artificial intelligence are still at the experimental stage and have not been implemented synchronously throughout the entire process of drafting, appraising, inspecting, and reviewing legal documents.
Mr. Pham Quang Hieu, Director of the Information Technology Department of the Ministry of Justice, stated that the application of AI in legal practice still faces challenges regarding accuracy and reliability. Checking the constitutionality and legality, or detecting inter-sectoral legal conflicts in legal documents, is still not being done effectively. Experimental systems still have a high false detection rate, requiring human intervention and re-checking, thus reducing the effectiveness of automation. Meanwhile, human resources and technical infrastructure remain limited.
The exploitation of big data and the application of artificial intelligence are still in the experimental stage and have not yet been implemented synchronously throughout the entire process of drafting, evaluating, inspecting, and reviewing legal documents.
Initial assessments of the current state of legal-related data sources and some specialized databases also show that the fragmentation and lack of interconnectedness of legal data make it difficult to gain a comprehensive view of the legal system. The Ministry of Justice is currently seeking feedback to finalize two projects: "Building a large database on law" and "Applying AI in the development and implementation of law."
The Ministry of Justice is aiming to build a large legal database to become a national data infrastructure, integrating data on legal documents, precedents, judgments, lawmaking files, administrative procedures, and feedback and recommendations. According to Deputy Minister of Justice Nguyen Thanh Tinh, legal data is the prerequisite; artificial intelligence is the intellectual driving force; and the digital legal platform is a breakthrough solution. Developing human resources in data and artificial intelligence is closely linked to reforming governance thinking based on data.
The goal is to restructure the national legal database, standardize all data on legal documents, and present them in a machine-readable standard format. This includes digitizing all processes and records related to the drafting of legal documents; building a centralized legal data warehouse; and creating a national legal knowledge graph to support intelligent searching, analysis, and exploitation, as well as applying digital technology to serve the work of drafting and implementing laws...
Notably, the open public-private partnership approach in implementing these major initiatives is expected to create space for Vietnamese technology companies to participate, avoiding being "stuck" in the public sector.

According to Mr. Bui Thanh Minh, Deputy Director of the Office of the Private Economic Development Research Board (Board IV), the innovation of the growth model has placed new demands on the legal system. Big data and AI in law need to be positioned as digital institutional infrastructure, both to remove bottlenecks in implementation and to open up new models of digital legal business and services.
Analyzing the issue from the perspective of citizens and businesses, Mr. Minh argued that the bottleneck in accessing and enforcing the law today lies not only in a lack of information but also in the ability to translate regulations into correct actions at a low cost. Citizens urgently need answers in everyday language, easy to understand, and verifiable to effectively implement the law. Businesses need answers tailored to their specific business situation, industry, location, and compliance risks to seize opportunities promptly.
Dr. Chu Thi Hoa, Deputy Director of the Institute of Legal Sciences, Ministry of Justice, noted that building data infrastructure and applying AI in state management is facing legal obstacles when applying unprecedented technologies such as AI generation or big data. The sandbox mechanism is key to testing shared data infrastructure models and AI algorithms to support the drafting and review of documents before formalizing them into the legislative process. However, clear regulations on accountability and exemptions in testing are needed to overcome the hesitation and fear of making mistakes among managers and implementers.
Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Justice, Tran Thi Hong Hanh, proposed building a comprehensive legal database from the central to local levels, while standardizing data structure, technical standards, and mechanisms for updating and cleaning data to ensure accuracy, completeness, cleanliness, viability, consistency, and shared use.
