What it requires
- This law carries no text-and-data-mining exception; obtain the rightsholder's authorisation or a licence before reproducing copyrighted text or data from a Georgian source for AI training or data mining, unless a general exception such as the quotation exception genuinely fits the use.

What it makes you log
Logging duty
Article 23 lists uses permitted without the author's consent or royalties, among them quotation for scientific, research, polemic, critical or information purposes, on condition of compulsory acknowledgement of the author and the source. The Law has no text-and-data-mining exception, and the acknowledgement is a credit on the use, not a log. No clause requires a record of use to be made, kept or produced, and the Law states no territorial clause for the exception.

What this law does
The Law of Georgia on Copyright and Related Rights, as consolidated through its most recent amendments, contains no exception permitting the automated reproduction of copyrighted works for text-and-data-mining, AI training, or computational analysis, and carries no machine-readable rights-reservation or opt-out scheme comparable to the one recognised under the EU's Digital Single Market Directive.
Its general exceptions, including the quotation exception at Article 23, are purpose-limited to scientific, research, polemic, critical, information, or teaching uses by their own terms, rather than to text-and-data-mining or model training as such. Reproducing or copying Georgian-hosted copyrighted content for AI training purposes without the rightsholder's authorisation or a licence therefore carries infringement risk unless a general exception genuinely fits the use.
