This is also the only legal information portal specifically mentioned in the Central document, so it must demonstrate its role as a channel providing official, timely and reliable information to people and businesses. However, in terms of scope of regulation, many opinions say that the draft needs to continue to be improved in the direction of fully covering management activities, updating information, exploiting data and applying new technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI). At the same time, it is necessary to clearly separate the content of Gate construction and management, operation, exploitation to avoid duplication and overlap with related projects. Some delegates also proposed to include conditions for ensuring resources, infrastructure and human resources within the scope of regulation, as a basis for implementing regulations on funding and organization of implementation. Commenting on Article 6 of the draft, many delegates said that the listing of more than 20 components of the Portal is spread out, with no clear distinction between information system and component news site. Some content such as popular pages, legal education or legal aid are actually components of the Ministry of Justices Electronic Information Portal and should not be designed as independent databases. If not reviewed, the National Law Portal risks becoming an aggregator of links, lacking centralization and difficult to operate effectively. Comments suggested only retaining the core components that have operated stably, and at the same time providing open regulations for future development content. Regarding account management and identification, delegates suggested that it should not be limited to a single method such as VNeID, but should expand other forms of legal identification to suit many subjects, including organizations and foreigners. Notably, many opinions suggest establishing an account hierarchy with at least 3 layers: data entry, controller and approver, to ensure content control and clearly define individual responsibilities in each step. Along with that, it is necessary to add strict regulations on locking or revoking accounts as soon as officials change jobs, quit their jobs or detect signs of information insecurity, to ensure data security and safety. Download Director of the Department of Legal Dissemination, Education and Legal Aid Cu Thu Anh received comments at the meeting. Photo: VGP/DA The application of artificial intelligence in the National Law Portal is a new content that has received many discussions. In a context where people tend to trust technology, if information is not strictly verified, it can lead to significant consequences. Therefore, there needs to be a mechanism to periodically check and review and clearly confirm the legal value of the original document. In addition, the concept of legal service needs to be clarified to distinguish it from online public services. At the same time, it is necessary to clearly stipulate the roadmap for providing free and paid services, avoiding misunderstandings during the implementation process... Representative of the unit in charge of drafting, Director of the Department of Dissemination, Legal Education and Legal Aid Cu Thu Anh said, will receive maximum comments and review and edit the draft in the direction of clarifying the scope of adjustment, avoiding duplication with other projects.
