Abstract

Amid Vietnam’s accelerating digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being studied and gradually applied across various areas of social life, including judicial and adjudicative activities. The integration of AI into adjudication is expected to enhance court efficiency by enabling the processing of large volumes of data, facilitating legal research, supporting evidence analysis, and reducing case-resolution times. Despite these technical and administrative benefits, the application of AI in the judicial sector raises significant legal and human rights concerns that require careful consideration. This article examines the theoretical and legal foundations for protecting human rights in adjudicative activities under the 2013 Constitution of Vietnam and the country’s current procedural laws. Drawing on international experience and comparative legal approaches, the article also identifies legal gaps and challenges associated with the application of AI in Vietnam’s judicial system. Based on this analysis, it proposes directions for strengthening the legal framework to ensure that the use of AI in adjudicative activities remains consistent with constitutional principles and international human rights standards.

Keywords: Adjudication, artificial intelligence, human rights, protection of rights and legitimate interests.
