Artificial intelligence (AI) possesses the capability not only to accelerate the dispute resolution process but also to promote early settlements by improving predictability and reducing risk. However, concerns have emerged regarding the impact of AI on the decision-making process, the transparency and control of arbitral data and algorithms, as well as the possible risks to confidentiality and personal data protection, especially in arbitration process. This article explores the difficulties in achieving a balance between the necessity for efficient AI-powered dispute resolution and the imperative to safeguard personal data and adhere to economics, arbitration law and personal data protection law. The challenge is particularly pronounced in Vietnam, where the legal framework for cybersecurity and personal data protection is still evolving.

AI Implementation in ODR: A Game-Changer or a Troublemaker of Data Protection

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually becoming not only an emerging technology in the development policies and strategies for the national economy but also a significant challenge posed to various issues of law, including the patent law. Alongside the Industrial Revolution 4.0, the rapid technological and scientific advancement has enabled AI to approach the level of natural intelligence of humans or more. Noswadays, the development of technology has been demonstrated that AI is likely to autonomously generate inventions. In light of the fact that the identification of the inventor impacts the patentability of AI-generated inventions, this poses a new challenge regarding the inventorship of AI, with the most confusing question being whether AI should be recognized as an inventor. This article provides an overview of AI and patentability challenges to clarify the fundamental understanding of AI and material concerns regarding AI-generated inventions. Simultaneously, the authors examine the laws and practices in selected countries to provide the viewpoints of competent authorities on patent protection for AI-generated inventions and the inventorship of AI. Finally, the authors conclude with a discussion of the recognition of AI inventorship, patent protection for AI-generated inventions, an evaluation of the recognizability of Vietnamese patent law, and a call for further research on relevant matters.

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Applying artificial intelligence (AI) is a modern and effective way to solve criminal case. However, this is a relatively new issue and has not been researched and applied thoroughly. Therefore, being fully aware of the nature of artificial intelligence, ensuring the basic principles, and using them in criminal justice will create the basis for the effects applied by law enforcement in practice. This article presents an overview of artificial intelligence and its relationship with criminal justice; the ability to apply artificial intelligence in solving criminal cases; Vietnam’s policies and challenges on research, development, and application of artificial intelligence. From there, the author proposes some recommendations to enhance the efficiency of criminal cases resolution based on ensuring the basic rights of the accused.

The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Criminal Investigation and Trials in Europe and Some Countries: Experience for Vietnam

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Life imprisonment has divergent meanings in various countries. With a focus on the issues related to life imprisonment in Canada, more specifically regarding the issue of the ‘hope to be released’ for the individuals serving a life sentence, the author assesses the legislation and some relevant, positive and negative, jurisprudential developments pertaining to life imprisonment in that context from a few countries, including Vietnam. The positive evolution that the Canadian jurisprudence witnessed in 2022 with respect to the eligibility for release of detainees serving a lifelong sentence could make Canada an interesting case study for Vietnam. This paper mainly relies on legal doctrinal research and comparative law by way of referring to the legislation and caselaw of a few different national jurisdictions for its analysis.

Life Imprisonment in Canada: Is the “Hope” Lost?

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Liability to compensate for non-contractual damage is an important regulation in the Civil Code. Vietnam has developed and promulgated the law on compensation for damage to quickly and promptly remedy damage to the aggrieved subject. One of the factors is that the 2015 Civil Code does not stipulate that fault is a condition giving rise to compensation liability, thereby thoroughly protecting human rights, the rights of individuals and organizations in civil relations in Vietnam. This article analyzes the above issue.
