The National Assembly Approved the Law on Artificial Intelligence

Vietnam.vn | Local Language | News | Dec. 12, 2025 | Regulation

Vietnam's National Assembly has approved a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence Law aimed at prioritizing AI implementation in management, administration, and public service delivery. The law contains 8 chapters and 35 articles regulating AI research, development, deployment, and use while excluding activities exclusive to national defense, security, and cryptography. Vice Chairman Le Minh Hoan presided over the session, which saw 429 out of 434 members voting in favor.

The legislation establishes a state policy to foster AI as a key driver of national growth, innovation, and sustainable development. It encourages controlled technological trials and risk-based management measures while promoting voluntary compliance mechanisms. Policies included aim to ensure fair access and benefits from AI for organizations and individuals, support vulnerable groups like people with disabilities and ethnic minorities, reduce the digital divide, and preserve national cultural identity.

The law mandates prioritization of investments and mobilization of social resources to develop data and computing infrastructure, secure AI, skilled human resources, and shared AI platforms. It emphasizes AI application in government decision-making and public services to enhance efficiency, transparency, and quality for citizens and businesses. Broad use of AI across socio-economic sectors is also encouraged to boost productivity and management effectiveness.

AI systems are classified by risk into high, medium, and low categories. High-risk systems pose significant harm to lives, rights, and national interests. Medium-risk systems may manipulate or confuse users who cannot identify AI-generated interactions. Low-risk systems fall outside these definitions. Risk classification considers human rights impact, safety, use cases, user scope, and scale.

The law designates national AI infrastructure as strategic and promotes its development as a unified, open, secure ecosystem with connectivity and scalability. The state will coordinate and ensure its capacity while encouraging investments from businesses, research institutions, universities, and social organizations. Public-private cooperation in infrastructure development is also emphasized. The law will come into effect on March 1, 2026.
