Canada’s actors, directors and musicians are sounding the alarm over artificial intelligence, saying it threatens their livelihood and reputations.
Groups representing people who work in TV, movies and music are calling on the Liberal government to protect their industries in its AI legislation.
Actors’ union ACTRA says unbridled use of AI could result in people’s names and images being misused in artificially crafted videos—or even replace human actors entirely.
People lose jobs everyday to AI. Whether it’s a labourer replaced by an industrial robot or a clerk by software and no one says boo.
The entertainemnt business is owed no special treatment.
