AI Law Concerns | Doanh Nghiệp Gặp Khó Khăn Trong Tuân Thủ Luật Trí Tuệ Nhân Tạo

The discussion centers on Vietnam’s emerging artificial‑intelligence legislation and the challenges firms face in meeting its requirements. Speakers argue that a single set of criteria cannot govern every sector. They call for rapid development of self‑assessment tools that let companies declare AI risk levels before deployment, and for licensed evaluators with both technical competence and impartiality to certify those assessments. A key point raised is that mandatory labeling of every AI system would dramatically raise compliance costs and deter product development. The speaker stresses that only AI applications posing threats to life, health, national security or defense—deemed high‑risk—should be subject to labeling and stricter controls. If regulators adopt a risk‑based, sector‑specific framework, Vietnamese businesses can innovate without prohibitive overhead, while the government safeguards critical domains. The proposal for detailed implementation rules aims to provide clarity for both enterprises and the public, shaping the country’s AI ecosystem.
