The Government has issued Decree No. 142/2026/ND-CP, detailing a number of provisions and measures for implementing the Intellectual AI Law. Under the Decree, AI providers must classify AI systems before putting them into use.
For AI system classification, the Decree requires providers to conduct self-classification in accordance with Article 10, Clause 1 of the Intellectual AI Law before using the system. Providers are also responsible under the law for the accuracy and honesty of the classification results.
The Decree specifies that classification applies only to AI systems. It does not apply to AI models, except in cases where a model is used as a component of a specific AI system.
The Ministry of Science and Technology will provide an electronic tool to support self-evaluation and classification of AI systems based on the criteria prescribed. The Decree states that use of the electronic tool is advisory rather than mandatory.
It also clarifies that the tool does not create administrative approval procedures or additional obligations beyond those provided in Decree No. 142/2026/ND-CP.
The Decree also outlines measures aimed at developing AI ecosystems and markets to stimulate demand and expand AI applications. It emphasizes prioritizing the use of AI products and services, encouraging deployment of contract manufacturing models, and promoting innovative procurement.
These efforts are intended to support AI applications across government management, production and business activities, and social life.
