## Summary

Regarding the prospects of combining federated learning with VLA policies, the research points out that sharing human-correction adaptations across tasks, environments, people, and robot embodiments carries safety risks: a shared update that raises average task success may suppress rare safety interventions or produce unsafe responses on another robot.
