AesirX ComplianceOne | Circular 05/2026/TT-BKHCN AI Ethics Framework
AI Law Circular 05/2026/TT-BKHCN [ACTIVE]
Instrument-level evidence and workflow readiness for Vietnam’s AI Ethics Framework
Effective 10 March 2026. ComplianceOne helps teams prepare, manage, review, and evidence relevant operational work.
Circular 05/2026/TT-BKHCN: Scope and Current Status
Circular 05/2026/TT-BKHCN National AI Ethics Framework provides an official subordinate ethics and responsible-AI guidance layer beneath the Vietnam AI Law. It is represented according to its implemented legal role and is not promoted into a broader or more binding framework.
Operational themes include responsible-AI principles, ethics assessment, human oversight, governance evidence, and cross-framework review. Teams should confirm applicability and legal interpretation with qualified advisers.
How Circular 05/2026/TT-BKHCN Relates to the Vietnam AI Law
This instrument sits beneath the Vietnam AI Law 2026, Law 134/2025/QH15. The parent law establishes AI governance duties – risk classification, transparency, incidents, and controlled testing – with Decree 142/2026/NĐ-CP supplying the active implementing procedures and Decision 33/2026/QĐ-TTg listing the high-risk AI system categories. Circular 05 adds a subordinate ethics and responsible-AI guidance layer beneath all three: human oversight, transparency notices, complaint handling, responsible testing safeguards, and periodic self-assessment, mapped to those controls without creating a duplicate mandatory workflow.
Cross-links preserve related evidence without duplicating parent obligations or changing the status of neighboring active, draft, guidance, or reference layers.
