The development of technology is acknowledged as a great achievement of human beings. It facilitates connection and globalization, but also supports socio-economic development. Technology, particularly the existence of Artificial Intelligence, enhances convenience in daily life and promotes more efficient methods of working and conducting business. However, rapid technological growth may cause the legal framework to fall behind and pose challenges to the fundamental rights and values of human beings. This paper examines Vietnam's current legal framework for human rights protection, as well as its practice of implementation. It also analyzes the General Data Protection Regulation, the Artificial Intelligence Act, and other relevant European Union documents to gain experience from the European Union. Then, this paper will propose some recommendations to address gaps in Vietnamese regulations and strengthen the protection of human rights.
