Vietnam’s Artificial Intelligence Law has been formally enacted, establishing a comprehensive legal framework governing activities related to the research, development, provision, deployment, operation, and use of artificial intelligence systems in Vietnam. The Law aims to promote the application of AI in support of socio-economic development while ensuring effective risk management, the protection of lawful rights and interests of organizations and individuals, and the safeguarding of public interests.
Under the Law, the scope of application covers:
- Organizations and enterprises that develop, supply, deploy, operate, or use AI systems.
- Domestic and foreign organizations and individuals conducting AI-related activities in Vietnam or providing AI systems to the Vietnamese market.
- State authorities applying AI in public administration and the provision of public services.
- Organizations and individuals whose lawful rights and interests are directly affected by AI systems.
The Artificial Intelligence Law sets out key principles and regulatory obligations applicable to AI systems, including:
- Classification of AI systems based on risk levels to determine corresponding regulatory requirements.
- Requirements for AI governance, risk control, and accountability throughout the entire lifecycle of AI systems.
- Obligations to ensure transparency, human oversight, and controllability of AI systems.
- Compliance with regulations on data protection, human rights, and the lawful rights and interests of organizations and individuals.
- Establishment of supervision, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms for AI-related activities.
For organizations and enterprises, a clear understanding of the scope of application and core compliance obligations under Vietnam’s Artificial Intelligence Law is essential for effective risk management, regulatory compliance, and the sustainable development and deployment of AI technologies.
With the legal groundwork now taking shape, this is the critical window for businesses, startups, and AI developers to prepare — before the rules of the game are formally written into law.
