Vietnam: National Assembly adopted Law on Artificial Intelligence including design requirements for high-risk AI systems

On 10 December 2025, the National Assembly adopted the Law on Artificial Intelligence (AI), which applies to Vietnamese and foreign entities operating in the country, excluding AI used solely for defence, security, or cipher purposes. The Law requires AI systems to be designed so that AI-generated output is clearly identifiable. Providers must mark AI-generated audio, image, and video content in machine-readable format, while deployers must notify users when such content could cause confusion about the authenticity of events or persons. Simulations of real people or events must be clearly labeled. For cinematographic, artistic, or creative works, labeling should be applied appropriately without obstructing display or enjoyment. Providers and deployers must maintain transparency throughout the provision of AI systems, products, or content, and the Government will define notification and labeling requirements. High-risk AI systems must be designed to allow human supervision and intervention.
