Ethical AI for Leaders in Vietnam

Vietnam's AI Law, effective March 2026, introduces a risk-based classification system (high, medium, low risk). High-risk AI systems require mandatory pre-market conformity assessments and human oversight. We help you assess which classification applies to your use case and prepare the necessary governance documentation before enforcement begins.

Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Law (effective January 2026) requires explicit prior consent for data processing, 72-hour breach notification to the Ministry of Public Security, and impact assessments for cross-border data transfers. The Cybersecurity Law also requires 24-month local data storage for Vietnamese user data. Our implementation includes compliance checkpoints for all these requirements.

Yes. Given that only 15-20% of Vietnam's workforce has business-level English, we deliver all training with Vietnamese-language materials and bilingual facilitators. Hands-on exercises use Vietnamese-language examples and locally relevant case studies.

Vietnam offers several incentive mechanisms: preferential CIT rates of 10% for up to 15 years for high-tech projects (vs. standard 20%), the Investment Support Fund (Decree 182/2024) with cash grants for qualifying AI investments, and the NIC Digital Talent Development Program for workforce training. We help you document your investment to qualify for applicable incentives.

While FPT (USD 2.47B revenue) and VinAI offer strong local capability, Pertama Partners brings cross-ASEAN implementation experience with deep regulatory expertise across multiple jurisdictions. We provide structured methodology validated across Southeast Asian markets, combined with Vietnam-specific compliance guidance that reflects the latest AI Law, PDPL, and Cybersecurity Law requirements.

AI ethics decisions directly affect your brand reputation, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder trust. Leaders who understand fairness, bias, and transparency can make AI decisions they can confidently defend to customers, regulators, and the public. This programme ensures your leadership team is equipped to guide responsible AI adoption that protects your organisation's reputation and values.

Your leaders will receive ethical decision-making frameworks, bias assessment checklists, stakeholder communication templates, and guidelines for establishing an AI ethics review process. These are practical, ready-to-use tools that help your team evaluate AI projects through an ethical lens and make responsible decisions quickly, not abstract philosophical discussions.

Organisations that deploy AI without ethical guardrails risk bias incidents, privacy violations, and public trust erosion that can take years to recover from. This programme equips your leadership team with frameworks to anticipate and prevent these issues before they arise. You will learn to establish AI ethics policies, create accountability structures, and communicate responsibly about your AI practices. Companies with strong ethical AI governance consistently outperform their peers in customer trust, employee confidence, and regulatory readiness.

Your leadership team receives a comprehensive ethical AI governance package that includes a responsible AI policy template aligned with international standards and regional regulatory expectations, a bias detection and mitigation checklist applicable to common AI applications, a transparency and explainability guide for communicating AI-assisted decisions to customers and employees, an ethical review board charter for establishing internal oversight, and a stakeholder communication framework for publicly reporting on your AI ethics commitments. Each document includes implementation guidance and real-world examples from organisations across Southeast Asia that have successfully operationalised ethical AI practices. These are not theoretical frameworks but working documents refined through practical deployment across multiple industries and regulatory environments.
