Vietnam's Minister of Science and Technology Vũ Hải Quân has directed officials and civil servants to strictly follow confidentiality rules when using AI tools. Confidential data must never be entered into AI platforms that do not meet security requirements, targeting data leakage risks from external services like ChatGPT used in daily government work.

What it means for you

  • Vendors selling AI services to Vietnamese government agencies must demonstrate their platforms meet confidentiality and security requirements to be selected
  • Confidential and sensitive data is explicitly excluded from AI use; suppliers need to offer solutions where data stays in-country
  • Non-sensitive public-sector tasks remain open to AI, creating market opportunities for compliant vendors
  • What to do

    CompliancePrepare compliance documentation on data security and on-premise deployment to serve Vietnamese government clients
    ProductAssess whether AI products for government clients support private deployment and in-country data storage
    LegalTrack subsequent Vietnamese official documents detailing AI platform security requirements
