Federal Report Highlights Divided Stakeholder Views on Copyright and Generative AI
Emerging Issue – AI Innovation and Regulation


The Canadian federal report "What We Heard: Consultation on Copyright in the Age of Generative AI" highlights sharp divisions between stakeholders. Led by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, the consultation examined AI training using copyrighted works, authorship of AI-generated content, and liability concerns. Cultural industry groups pushed for strong copyright protections and transparency, while tech stakeholders called for TDM-friendly rules and copyright exceptions. The report underscores the importance of human authorship, the need for transparency and labeling of AI content, and concerns over job security and privacy. Around 1,000 Canadians and 62 stakeholders participated. Discover key insights on this emerging issue by reviewing this Law360 Canada article.
