Vietnam to establish National AI Development Fund

The Ministry of Science and Technology will establish a national Artificial Intelligence (AI) Development Fund for the 2026–2027 period, following a Prime Ministerial decision recently signed by Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung  on  approving a plan to implement the Law on AI.

Under the decision, a National AI Database will be developed and housed at the National Data Center.

The Ministry of Science and Technology will oversee AI data standards, technical regulations, algorithm models and related matters. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Security will be responsible for building infrastructure for the National Data Center, as well as ensuring data security, safety and the integration of source data.

AI-related databases managed by ministries, ministerial-level and government-affiliated agencies, and People’s Committees at all levels will be developed, updated and uniformly connected to the National AI Database. These databases must comply with the National Data Center’s standards and technical regulations to ensure data quality and information security.

In addition, AI clusters will be developed under a model that combines centralized physical spaces with digital network linkages. Cluster hubs will be established at high-tech parks, concentrated digital technology zones and innovation centers, while organizations and individuals will be encouraged to invest in technical infrastructure supporting cluster activities.
