Vietnam publishes AI-law implementing decree

Vietnam's official government legal-document portal lists Decree No. 142/2026/ND-CP as a government decree that provides detailed provisions and implementation measures for the Law on Artificial Intelligence.[1] The portal states that the decree was issued on April 30, 2026 and took effect on May 1, 2026.[1] The portal also links the signed PDF of the decree as the official attached document.[3]


Draft White House AI order reportedly shifts frontier-model review to voluntary framework

Gizmodo reported on May 20, 2026 that the latest Axios-described draft of a Trump Administration executive order on frontier AI models would make a model-review framework voluntary rather than mandatory.[2] The report said earlier accounts of the draft order had described a potentially broader federal vetting role for new models, possibly involving the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, but that the newer version was divided into cybersecurity and covered-frontier-model sections.[2] Under the reported draft, frontier-model developers would have a 90-day window to check in with the government and have a model vetted, while the cybersecurity section would focus on federal cybersecurity measures rather than direct AI regulation.[2]
