Don’t count AI-generated content as CanCon, CRTC hears

OTTAWA — Unions representing actors and writers are urging the CRTC not to classify artificial intelligence-generated material as Canadian content.
The Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists says “under no circumstance” should AI-created material be considered CanCon.
The union’s national president Eleanor Noble says doing otherwise would be a “betrayal” of Canadian performers.
The actor’s union is appearing at a two-week hearing held by the federal broadcast regulator as it considers how to modernize its definition of Canadian content.
