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

On 20 October 2025, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MST) closed the public consultation, which had been open since 29 September 2025, on the Draft Law on Artificial Intelligence setting design obligations for high-risk AI. 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 proposal also requires that AI-generated content, including deepfakes, be clearly labelled.
