Developing Data Handling Guidelines for Open-Source LLM Training in Compliance with Section 37 under Thailands PDPA and Related Legal Provisions
Abstract:
This study examines the application of Section 37 under Thailands Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) to the training of open-source Large Language Model (LLM), a context often characterized by decentralization and limited institutional oversight. Beyond doctrinal and comparative legal analysis, the research incorporates semi-structured interviews with open-source AI developers in Thailand to ground legal findings in real-world practices. Drawing from structural risk analysis and practitioner feedback, the study proposes a conceptual framework for LLM-based data handling guidelines. The framework presents a modular, role-sensitive approach accompanied by practical tables to assist data controllers in operationalizing Section 37. Designed to support resource-constrained environments, the proposed guidelines aim to support legally compliant, scalable, and responsible development of open-source LLM in Thailand.
