Unchecked artificial intelligence poses a fundamental threat to our members and workers across the creative industries — we must safeguard the future of art. And it’s not just about creative industries; it threatens the very fabric of Canadian cultural and economic foundations.
That's why we're aggressively lobbying the federal government to include strong protections against these potential threats before the release of the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) this fall.

Instead of finally paying their fair share for content created by Canadian news publishers, @Meta is blocking crucial news from Canadians like you.
Join ACTRA National and @friendscb (a non-partisan people-powered movement standing up for Canadian voices in public broadcasting, news media and culture) for a 48 hour boycott to tell @Meta that Canadians WON’T be pushed around by foreign tech billionaires.
The 48 hour boycott is an eternity for social media giants! Let's show @Meta you can't be bullied, and write to your MPs to do the same:
