There are no AI protections for performers in commercial contracts. None. ACTRA Toronto Members are standing together to change that.
The ACTRA Toronto AI Committee is sharing a simple yet powerful rider you can negotiate into your commercial contracts. It's built on the three C's: consent, control and compensation. It also goes further, to prevent your likeness and voice from being used to train generative AI models.
Let's ride, together. 🏍️
