Vietnam is poised to become a rising power in the global AI economy, with projections estimating AI to contribute USD 120–130 billion by 2040. A recent strategic report jointly produced by NIC, JICA, and BCG highlights AI as a core pillar of Vietnam’s national growth agenda.
From the perspective of legal infrastructure and business governance, THE LAM LAW LLC – Your legal need, Our Mission identifies six essential pillars shaping Vietnam’s AI trajectory, where policy and law will play a decisive role:
⚖️ Legal Highlights from the Report:
📜 Vietnam has enacted key laws like the Data Protection Decree (13/2023/NĐ-CP) and Digital Investment Law, but a dedicated AI legal framework is still under development.
🧪 The country is preparing to implement sandbox regulations—controlled testing environments for AI applications—mirroring global best practices.
🤖 Intellectual property and liability in AI usage remain grey zones requiring legal interpretation and compliance guidelines.
📊 Data access and governance are critical: there is a strong push to enable open data platforms while protecting privacy and national security.
💼 The surge in AI startups demands legal support in contracts, investment, licensing, and cross-border data transfers.
