The Ministry of Justice is piloting an AI assistant to review and examine legal documents. This solution promises significant improvements in efficiency and quality for legal document creation and examination.
Introduction to the Project
The Department of Information Technology (Ministry of Justice) is actively collaborating with technology companies to develop and apply AI in reviewing legal documents. Mr. Nguyễn Quang Hiếu, Director of the Department of Information Technology, stated that this project focuses on using AI to detect conflicts of jurisdiction, verify document validity, and find relevant regulations.
Key Features of the AI Assistant
This AI assistant focuses on three key functions:
- Jurisdictional Conflict Detection: The system automatically checks documents for inconsistencies in issuing authority.
- Document Validity Verification: The AI assistant validates the validity of documents, legal basis, and reference materials to ensure accuracy and up-to-date information.
- Related Information Retrieval: The system can search and analyze related legal documents, saving time and improving review quality.
Challenges and Solutions
However, this trial faces challenges related to data, functionality, technical aspects, user experience, and implementation timelines. To address these challenges, relevant departments will collaborate more closely and provide detailed reports to the Ministry of Justice leadership for effective implementation guidance.
Minister of Justice’s Guidance
At a recent meeting, Minister of Justice Nguyễn Hải Ninh highly valued this project. He requested clarification on specific AI requirements, including supporting document verification (constitutionality, legality, and consistency of the legal system), examining documents (assessing jurisdiction, legal validity, and compliance with international regulations).
Role of Related Units
The Department of Legal Document Review and Administrative Offense Management will be the central point, along with the Department of Information Technology and related units, to establish a working group to implement the project step-by-step with a clear roadmap.
Conclusion
Applying AI to legal document review is a significant step towards enhancing efficiency and quality in legal work. The Ministry of Justice needs a specific plan, clearly defining goals and output requirements to ensure the project’s maximum effectiveness. Furthermore, building a large legal database is essential to support and enhance AI capabilities in the future.
