The Minister of Science and Technology has officially issued Decision No. 2847/QD-BKHCN, establishing a comprehensive set of criteria to evaluate national-level Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms designed to support public services.
This new framework serves as a benchmark for assessing the integration of AI across 14 ministries, three ministerial-level agencies, and 34 localities nationwide.
The evaluation framework operates on a 100-point scale divided into two primary groups. Group A, accounting for 35 points, assesses general criteria including legal compliance, source citation, data boundaries, AI security, personal data protection, and AI ethics. Group B, worth 65 points, evaluates specialized capabilities such as the platform’s ability to summarize, analyze, and provide professional guidance based on publicly available government documents and sector-specific regulations.
Under the new guidelines, a platform must achieve a total score of at least 70 points to be approved for official deployment. In addition to the total score, it must secure at least 50% of the maximum points in Group A and contain no "disqualifying" marks. Platforms scoring between 50 and 70 points will be permitted to enter a trial phase, provided they undergo upgrades and a re-evaluation within two months. Any platform scoring below 50 points will be deemed ineligible for testing.
A standout requirement of the criteria is the emphasis on technological autonomy. To qualify for trial participation, platforms must utilize Vietnamese Large Language Models (LLMs) developed and owned by domestic enterprises. Furthermore, the entire infrastructure for training, inference, and service provision must be physically located within Vietnam.
Beyond technical requirements, the ministry mandates that platforms must have robust protocols for reporting serious incidents and demonstrate high-load capacity. Specifically, these AI systems must be capable of serving at least 5,000 concurrent users during the trial phase and must scale to support a minimum of 50,000 concurrent users once officially implemented.
