The Vietnam Investment Review outlines the imminent shift of AI from speculation to real-world deployment in 2026, highlighting that while this transformation promises significant business benefits, it also brings a host of security challenges. As agentic AI becomes more prevalent in sectors such as retail and logistics in Vietnam, where e-commerce and logistics are rapidly growing, there is a pressing need for robust governance and security measures.
The country's landmark Law on AI, enacted in March 2026, marks a turning point, moving the focus from voluntary model security to legally mandated digital workforce governance. This regulatory shift necessitates a fundamental change in how organizations treat AI agents, treating them as digital identities akin to employees, and implementing comprehensive security protocols to protect these autonomous systems from potential threats.
