The growing use of unregulated Artificial Intelligence (AI), including generative AI, in Canada poses a fundamental threat to the stability of the labour market in Ontario. Unregulated AI has the potential to affect every worker in Ontario, including workers in Ontario’s screen-based industry. As AI technology continues to advance, workers are facing existential and immediate threats to their livelihoods and, additionally, in the case of performers, their reputation.

Please take action by asking your Ontario MPP to act now and urge the Government of Ontario to amend the Working for Workers Act to include protections for workers in Ontario from AI as well as ensure the arts, including the film, television and digital media industry, are included in Ontario’s Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) Framework to support AI use that is accountable, safe and rights based.
