Open-Source Does Not Mean Open Data — Zhang Ping on Training-Data Compliance for Open-Source AI
Peking University Law School professor Zhang Ping, writing in 人民论坛 (People's Tribune), takes apart two misconceptions that have dominated the Chinese open-source AI discussion: that 'open source' means training data has no copyright protection, and that 'algorithm open-source' compels 'training data publication.' Both false. Zhang lays out the structural distinction: 'open source is conditional authorization under license' — applied to model weights, not to the training corpus, which is a legally independent object. She then maps the full-chain compliance risk (acquisition / processing / output) and proposes a four-tier differentiated governance framework that finance, healthcare, and government AI deployments can actually use to map their training-data inventory against compliance gates.
