The topic of Information Privacy does not directly apply to Real Steel. The movie focuses on the robots solely built and programmed to fight, which act as standalone systems. "Standalone devices operate independently and do not rely on external connections or networks to function" [1]. The movie does address personal data & privacy, data mining, or any other topics in the chapter.
If these robots did act as integrated systems and accessed the internet, major concerns could arise. A major subject in the movie is Zeus' learning algorithm which makes him unique from any other robot. If this proprietary programming were to be accessed through unauthorized methods, anybody could replicate Tak Mashido's prized fighting bot.
