Open question: are a training ground's recordings important data under Chinese law? No catalog names robot data

Open question: can hours recorded in a Chinese training ground train a robot sold in the European Union?
European Union · verified 13 September 2026

Global
3 records
Open question: does a person in a training ground's footage have a say? Three regimes, three different answers, none written for robots
Global · verified 13 September 2026
GDPR and the EDPB video guidelines: footage of an identifiable person is personal data; it is biometric only when processed to identify. Workers are owed a lawful basis and information, and consent is a weak basis at work.
Open question: who owns the hours a robot records at a customer's site? Only the EU has a rule, and it is about access, not ownership
Global · verified 13 September 2026
Data Act articles 4 and 5: the user may access readily available data and have it shared with a third party; article 6(2)(e) bars the third party from a competing product. The Regulation does not use the word ownership.
