📋 Tender Overview
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Law Project places AI as a driving force for rapid, sustainable growth, ensuring national digital sovereignty, while establishing a transparent, safe and responsible management mechanism to respond to social impacts brought about by AI. Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung presented the Proposal on the Law on Artificial Intelligence project. Continuing the program of the 10th Session, on November 21, the National Assembly listened to the presentation of the Proposal and Verification Report on the Law on Artificial Intelligence (AI) project. Presenting the Proposal, Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung said that the Artificial Intelligence Law project includes 8 chapters, 36 articles, to fully institutionalize the Party and Houses policies. countries on AI development; At the same time, build a groundbreaking legal corridor to promote innovation, improve national competitiveness and ensure digital sovereignty. According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, the Artificial Intelligence Law is a framework law, flexible and adaptable to the development of technology. The law systematically and comprehensively regulates measures to balance management and promotion of research, development, deployment and application of artificial intelligence in Vietnam. The Law on Artificial Intelligence puts humans at the center with the supreme principle that AI serves humans, does not replace humans, and humans supervise artificial intelligence in key decisions; Artificial intelligence must be transparent, responsible and safe. The Law on Artificial Intelligence manages the artificial intelligence system according to the level of risk, encourages the development of domestic artificial intelligence and autonomy in artificial intelligence, uses artificial intelligence as a driving force for rapid, sustainable growth and ensures national digital sovereignty. The Law project also inherits and abolishes the regulations on AI in the Law on Digital Technology Industry (Law No. 71/2025/QH15), supplements current legal gaps and selectively references international experience to suit Vietnamese conditions. The Law on Artificial Intelligence regulates promoting research, development, supply, deployment and use of artificial intelligence systems; rights and obligations of relevant organizations and individuals; and state management of artificial intelligence activities in Vietnam. Subjects of application of the Artificial Intelligence Law are Vietnamese agencies, organizations, and individuals and foreign organizations and individuals that have activities to develop, provide, deploy, and use artificial intelligence systems in Vietnam or have artificial intelligence systems that create results to be used in Vietnam. Chairman of the Committee for Science, Technology and Environment Nguyen Thanh Hai presented the Verification Report on the Law project on Supplementing measures to respond to social impacts brought about by AI. Presenting the Verification Report, Chairman of the Committee for Science, Technology and Environment Nguyen Thanh Hai said that the Committee agreed with the need to promulgate the Law on Artificial Intelligence to supplement and complete the existing legal framework, establish a unified, synchronous, comprehensive and flexible management mechanism. More suitable for the specifics of the field of artificial intelligence; promote integration and mutual recognition of technology. Thereby enhancing Vietnams position in the global value chain and expanding international cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence. Regarding classification and management of AI systems according to risk, the Committee basically agreed with classifying risks into 4 levels (low, medium, high and unacceptable risk). However, the draft Law does not clearly define quantitative or qualitative criteria to identify and classify risks, and there are no regulations on management measures, tools and risk assessment methods, so classifying and self-classifying risks is difficult, leading to concerns about legal liability in implementation. Regarding the national database of artificial intelligence systems, and databases serving artificial intelligence, the Committee proposed adding core principles to ensure quality of data. Data serving AI such as: Data must be correct - enough - clean - live and unified for common use; have a mechanism for interconnection and data sharing to prevent data from being scattered and creating bottlenecks in AI research and development; There are mandatory principles on ensuring network security, data security and defense of the national AI infrastructure, preventing the risk of hijacking and data leakage. Regarding legal liability, because AI can perform actions that humans perform, while the responsibility of AI itself is still controversial, the Law needs to supplement the principle of clearly delineating responsibilities between subjects, including foreign organizations providing cross-border services, and distinguish between intentional and unintentional cases. or unpredictable technical errors. Regarding the legal responsibilities of the parties involved, the actions and errors made by humans can also be performed by AI. Meanwhile, there are many different views on the legal responsibility of AI itself, so it is difficult to determine responsibility in the traditional sense. When an incident arises, it will cause disputes over administrative, civil, and criminal liability. Therefore, it is necessary to add principles to distinguish responsibilities between subjects and related parties, including foreign suppliers when providing cross-border AI services and distinguish between cases.p intentional, unintentional or errors due to technical limitations, which were not foreseeable. In addition, the Committee proposed adding a separate section on the use of AI in training, research and innovation. The draft Law does not have regulations on t
