# AI Training Data Rights

## How the use of data for AI training is regulated in Georgia

Training artificial intelligence systems requires vast volumes of records, texts, images and other data that are often collected about other people. This raises a fundamental legal question: may such data be used to teach a model. In Georgian law this question is answered by general norms: the Georgian Law on Personal Data Protection contains no article specifically devoted to artificial intelligence. This must be said plainly: using training data is not in conflict with the law — it is simply subject to the same general regime that governs any other processing: the processing principles, the grounds, the rules on special-category data and the design requirements.

This means that when collecting training data and feeding them to a model, an organisation must answer the same questions that accompany any other processing: what the purpose of processing is, on which ground it takes place, how compatible that purpose is with the original purpose for which the data were collected, and by which measures the risk to the rights of subjects is reduced. The Georgian law follows the European approach, so international practice remains a comparative framework, while the decisive argument is always the Georgian norm.

### Is there a Georgian statute on AI training data?

No, the Law on Personal Data Protection contains no article specifically on artificial intelligence. The use of training data is subject to the general regime: processing principles, grounds, special-category rules and design requirements.

### May data collected for one purpose be used to train a model?

Only where compatible. Article 4 of the law prohibits further processing incompatible with the original purpose. The decision is made on six factors: connection between the purposes, the character of the relationship, the subject's reasonable expectation, the presence of special-category data, possible consequences, and security measures.

### Which ground is best for training processing?

The most reliable is the subject's consent for a specific purpose. Legitimate interests, cases provided for by law and publicly available data are also possible. For special-category data, written consent or another ground allowed by Article 6 is required.

### How is the risk to subjects reduced?

Under Article 26, when creating a new technology, technical and organisational measures, including pseudonymisation, are adopted, and only the necessary volume is processed automatically. Preventing unnecessary fields and identifiers from entering the corpus is a direct application of this requirement.
