<h1>Legal risks and compliance checklist for companies adopting AI, big-data exchanges, automated logistics, and cross-border data flows</h1> A regional chemical exporter, an electronics manufacturer and an automaker in Guizhou report rapid industrial upgrading driven by new digital infrastructure, including AI centers, big-data exchanges and automated production and logistics systems. Legal issues implicated include data governance and cross-border data flows, IP and model-training rights for algorithmic systems, regulatory compliance for chemical logistics and environmental controls, automation-related labor and occupational-safety obligations, procurement and multimodal-transport contract risks, and competition concerns from rapid localization and cluster formation. Entities should assess contractual allocation of liability, data protection and export controls, certification and regulatory approvals, and IP ownership and licensing of AI/data assets.
