argument: Normativa/Regulations - Digital Governance

According to an article on Vietnam News, the development of responsible artificial intelligence (AI) in Vietnam is imperative to address ethical, societal, and legal challenges. Associate Professor Nguyễn Thị Quế Anh from the University of Law, Vietnam National University, emphasizes the importance of developing unique national policies rather than imitating foreign models. AI's potential in education is highlighted, demonstrating its role in personalized learning and data analysis. However, concerns about privacy, discrimination, and societal biases are noted.

Dr. Tôn Quang Cường from the University of Education underscores the need for ethical norms in AI's application across the Vietnamese education system, from primary education to vocational training. The Ministry of Science and Technology has released guidelines for developing responsible AI systems, aiming to maximize benefits while minimizing risks. These guidelines stress human-centric AI development, balancing economic, ethical, and legal factors. The ministry’s principles include accountability, transparency, innovation, security, privacy, and respect for human rights.
