Recheck of 18 Oct 2026. Stored and read: the signed decision with both annexes from the Government portal's file server (datafiles.chinhphu.vn; 10 scanned pages, read through Tesseract OCR redone on 18 Oct 2026 with Vietnamese among the language models, so the text now keeps most diacritics) and the Government portal's document page (chinhphu.vn, not listed as an official host), which gives the number 804/QĐ-TTg, issue date 06-05-2026, the Prime Minister as issuer and Hồ Quốc Dũng as signer. The PDF is the file stored on 14 Oct 2026 (same SHA-256), now filed as the record's official copy. The new OCR reads the number on page 1 as '904' and the date of the Law on Artificial Intelligence as 10 December 2023; the Annex II header reads 804, the portal gives 804/QĐ-TTg, and the earlier English-only OCR of the same file read the law's date as 10 December 2025, the date of VN-02. The OCR shows the date line (6 May 2026), the legal bases, Articles 1-3, the 15 Annex I datasets and the 39 Annex II items in five groups. The signer's office is not legible in the stored text. The link to Decision 367/QĐ-TTg rests on VN-03's stored copy. No English text was found.
