Artificial intelligence is the core driving force for economic and social development.
The project proposal and draft Law on Artificial Intelligence emphasize: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming the cutting-edge technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, opening up many great opportunities for socio-economic development but also posing many urgent challenges regarding management, ethics and safety that current legal regulations do not fully cover.
The Draft Law on Artificial Intelligence aims to institutionalize the Party and State's policies, create a breakthrough legal corridor for artificial intelligence; create a favorable legal environment to promote innovation, enhance national competitiveness; and at the same time manage risks, protect national interests, human rights and digital sovereignty. The Draft Law consists of 8 chapters and 36 articles.
The Committee on Science, Technology and Environment found that the contents of the draft Basic Law are consistent with the provisions of the Constitution and the legal system. However, it is recommended that the reviewing agency continue to review the consistency with a number of laws, such as the Civil Code, the Law on Product and Goods Quality, the Law on Technical Standards and Regulations, etc.
Commenting on the draft Law on Artificial Intelligence, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Quang Phuong said that in the process of drafting the Law's content, it is necessary to consider risks with preventive measures that are suitable to Vietnam's actual capabilities; at the same time, it is necessary to study and unify the coordination role of the Government and the State management functions of relevant ministries and branches. In particular, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Quang Phuong paid attention to the mechanism and impact of artificial intelligence on humans.
“The human brain may become lazy, have poorer memory and reduced learning skills, especially for children,” the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly emphasized.
National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man said that the National Assembly has issued the Law on Digital Technology Industry, which includes a chapter entitled “Chapter IV: Artificial Intelligence” to establish an initial legal foundation of principles for the development and application of artificial intelligence. However, these provisions have not yet formed a comprehensive legal corridor, open enough to facilitate the research, development, deployment and use of artificial intelligence and a comprehensive ecosystem of artificial intelligence.
According to National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, if used correctly, artificial intelligence is not only a technology but also a core driving force for economic, social, and national security development. However, along with opportunities, there will also be many challenges, so a timely legal framework is needed to control and implement effectively; therefore, it is necessary to promote innovation, create an open legal corridor, ensure human rights and manage risks according to the level of impact from low to high. The National Assembly Chairman also said that the Law on Artificial Intelligence will be passed at the 10th Session...
