Vietnam: Ministry of Science and Technology opened consultation on Draft Law on Artificial Intelligence including design requirements

On 29 September 2025, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MST) opened a public consultation, running until 20 October 2025, on the Draft Law on Artificial Intelligence, which establishes design obligations for high-risk AI systems. Providers must ensure human oversight, proportional safety and cybersecurity measures, transparency towards affected individuals, and maintain documentation such as testing and risk-mitigation records. The draft Law also requires that AI-generated content, including deepfakes, be clearly labelled.
