Overview
Current Canadian copyright law faces a growing challenge in addressing creative works generated or assisted by artificial intelligence (AI). The law remains rooted in traditional notions of human authorship, leaving a gap between technological capability and legal recognition. While the United States, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions have begun to develop guidance and case law in this area, Canada lags, creating uncertainty in authorship, ownership, and enforceability—particularly for those working in film, television, music, and digital media.
