Georgia
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Georgia presents moderate crawling risk under general-law provisions; no scraping-specific statute exists. The new Law on Personal Data Protection (June 2023, in force March 2024) closely approximates the GDPR as part of Georgia's EU-candidacy alignment, making it the primary risk vector for any crawl that touches personal data. Criminal Code Arts. 284–286 address unauthorized computer access and system/data interference (Budapest Convention aligned). Database producers enjoy a sui generis-style right under the Law on Copyright Art. 54 (15-year term), following European model. No TDM exception exists — the copyright exception list is closed. No scraping case law exists in English-language sources; enforcement capacity of the Personal Data Protection Service is nascent but growing.
