However, the explosion of breakthrough technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), 5G networks, biotechnology, especially the emergence of DeepSeek - a recent Chinese AI model - not only brings opportunities but also poses challenges, especially the rise of high-tech crimes.

New types of crime are increasingly sophisticated and constantly changing. Criminals take advantage of and exploit modern technologies and techniques to commit crimes in a more sophisticated and cunning manner; and are not only limited within the territory of a country but also cross borders and internationally.

Faced with this reality, Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Procuracy of Vietnam Ta Quang Khai proposed that judicial agencies, including the Procuracy and the Public Prosecutor's Office of other countries, should promote cooperation and share experiences in preventing and combating crime, especially high-tech crime; at the same time, he emphasized that criminal judicial assistance is an important international cooperation channel to help collect evidence and clarify transnational crimes.
