Vietnam: Law on Artificial Intelligence including design requirements for high-risk AI systems enters into force

On 1 March 2026, the Law on Artificial Intelligence enters into force. 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.
