Fully assess the impact, clearly define the content

According to the Government's Submission, one of the viewpoints in drafting the Law is to systematically and comprehensively prescribe measures to ensure a balance between management and promotion of research, development, deployment and application of AI in Vietnam.

Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung reported and clarified a number of issues according to the opinions of the delegates.

However, presenting the draft Report on the review of the Law project, Vice Chairman of the Committee for Science, Technology and Environment Tran Van Khai said that the Committee for Science, Technology and Environment found that the connotation of the "balanced" regulatory approach has not been clarified. The drafting agency has added the viewpoint of "minimum and transparent management, maximum promotion" but it is not clear whether this is the connotation of the "balanced" regulatory approach or not.

Vice Chairman of the Committee for Science, Technology and Environment Tran Van Khai presented some contents of the review of the Law on Artificial Intelligence project. — Vice Chairman of the Committee for Science, Technology and Environment Tran Van Khai presented some contents of the review of the Artificial Intelligence Law project.

The Vice Chairman of the Committee on Science, Technology and Environment emphasized that this is a fundamental and core issue that determines the direction of regulation and the level of State intervention in AI development and application activities; leading to completely different ways of designing regulations, management mechanisms and support policies. This policy approach will directly affect the effectiveness of implementation and socio-economic impacts after the Law is promulgated, especially in the context of achieving the double-digit growth target of our country.

Therefore, the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Science, Technology and Environment suggested that the drafting agency conduct thorough research, refer to international experience, fully assess the impact, clearly define the content of the policy viewpoint "balance between management and promotion" to ensure it is suitable for Vietnam's practical conditions and report to the competent authority for consideration and direction; thereby demonstrating consistency and continuity throughout the entire content of the draft Law.

Through discussion, the National Assembly deputies basically agreed on the necessity of promulgating the Law on Artificial Intelligence to institutionalize the Party and State's policies, create a breakthrough legal corridor for artificial intelligence; create a favorable legal environment to promote innovation, improve national competitiveness; at the same time, manage risks, protect national interests, human rights and digital sovereignty.

Some opinions also emphasized the need to build a legal framework to promote the development of AI, but also to ensure risk management from AI. Basically agreeing with the classification of AI risk levels for management, but some delegates also suggested that it is necessary to clarify the criteria or methods for classifying risk levels; the basis for determining AI as a product, good or service to classify and manage risk levels; and review to ensure consistent regulations in the draft Law and in the legal system.
