On December 10, 2025, the National Assembly passed the Law on Artificial Intelligence No. 134/2025/QH15 (the AI Law), which takes effect from March 1, 2026. The enactment of the AI Law marks a significant milestone in Viet Nam’s digital technology legal framework, placing country among the few nations that have adopted a comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence (AI). The AI Law regulates activities relative to research, development, provision, deployment and use of AI systems; rights and obligations of organizations and individuals involved in such activities and state management of AI activities in Viet Nam, excluding those that purely serve national defense, security, or cryptographic purposes. Notably, the AI Law not only emphasizes risk governance, safety assurance, transparency, accountability, and compliance in the development and operation of AI systems, but also creates a favorable legal environment for research, investment, innovation, and commercialization of AI products and services. In Legal Newsletter No. 02/2026, NHQuang&Associates would like to introduce a number of notable incentive and support mechanisms under the AI Law that enterprises operating in AI sector may benefit from.
The article “Notable incentive and support mechanisms for enterprises operating in the Artificial Intelligence sector” is presented by Tran Hai Long.
