Since the establishment of artificial intelligence (AI), it has created many novel legal issues, especially in intellectual property law surrounding their generated works. This is a substantial problem for developing countries, one of which is Vietnam – a country prioritizing AI as their top technology advancement plan for the next period. While neighboring countries of Vietnam such as China or South Korea has addressed this issue on a policy level, the country has yet to legislate any regulations regarding this.

Therefore, the paper will provide analysis on two main questions: whether it is possible to copyright AI-generated works and the author of AI-generated works from the perspective of different jurisdictions around the world, at the same time, comparing it with the current legislation of Vietnam in order to provide the country with a suitable proposal for the next period. Doctrinal methods, along with case study and comparative research will be applied to answer the proposed issues. The study revealed that while the law in Vietnam is fairly similar to international law, a few differences in interpretation could possibly lead to unexpected results. Therefore, amending the law and establishing special guiding documents are considered the key factors to a more solid and rigorous IP legal system regarding AI in Vietnam in the near future.
