The Songwriters Association of Canada (S.A.C.) met today with officials from the Department of Innovation, Science, and Industry (ISED) to discuss the impact of generative AI on music creators. The discussions highlighted the need for transparency in AI inputs and outputs, fair remuneration for creators, and the potential of licensing AI tools as a revenue stream for music creators.

Bill C-27, which addresses various aspects of AI regulation and is progressing rapidly, was also a key topic of discussion.

We will continue to keep our members updated on these developments and our ongoing advocacy efforts. Thank you for your continued support.
