Law on Digital Technology Industry 
The National Assembly passed Law No. 71/2025/QH15 on the Digital Technology Industry (“DTI Law”) on 14 June 2025, which will take effect on 1 January 2026.  The DTI Law establishes principles and a legal framework for the digital technology sector, with a strong focus on semiconductors, AI, digital assets, and sustainable development, aiming to position Vietnam as a competitive player in the global digital economy. 

In particular, with respect to AI, the DTI Law provides that:

• AI development must adhere to principles of being human-centric, ethical, transparent, explainable, and controllable, with risk management applied throughout the AI system lifecycle.
• Specific obligations are imposed on high-risk and high-impact AI systems, including compliance with technical standards, transparency requirements, and data governance obligations.
• AI systems with features to interact with users must be clearly notified to users; certain AI products also be subject to identification signs for users or machines to identify.  

The Government is expected to issue detailed implementing guidelines through subordinate legislation to elaborate on the above principles and requirements.

Law on Science, Technology and Innovation
Law No. 93/2025/QH15 on Science, Technology and Innovation (“STI Law”) was passed on 27 June 2025, and will take effect on 1 October 2025. The STI Law governs all activities related to science, technology, and innovation (STI) in Vietnam. It establishes principles and an innovation-driven legal framework that strongly supports commercialization, risk-taking, and private sector involvement.

Specifically for AI, the STI Law applies to all organizations and individuals engaged in AI research, development, deployment, and commercialization—both domestic and foreign. Overall, it fosters a supportive, risk-tolerant environment for AI innovation, commercialization, and international integration in Vietnam. Key provisions include:

• It encourages the use of big data and AI to strengthen national innovation capacity. 
• STI Law allows for regulatory sandboxes, enabling controlled trials of new AI technologies and business models. Entities operating within these sandboxes may receive liability exemptions for compliance. 
• Scientific research, technological development, and innovation outcomes are subject to clear ownership and commercialization rules. Contributors are entitled to proportional ownership,  and at least 30% of profits from State-funded outcome commercialization must be allocated to inventors.  Startups and enterprises are given incentives on finance, taxation, land, bidding, and credit.  Venture capital is supported through risk-tolerant policies.  
• STI Law offers special incentives to attract and retain talent and encourages international collaboration in research and technology transfer.
