Summary
Canada’s four main arts and design universities are asking Ottawa for $10 million to create a national training program for creative workers and the small businesses that employ them. The schools say freelancers, sole proprietors and gig workers often lack employer-funded training as artificial intelligence affects their work. The proposal comes amid concerns from some faculty that generative AI can threaten artists’ rights, students’ learning and graduates’ job prospects.
