AI content should be labelled: committee

A House of Commons committee says the government should require that content generated by artificial intelligence be clearly labelled.

The members of Parliament on the committee are calling for standardized labels for AI content that are visible and that the public can understand.

The committee says the requirement should apply to all relevant sectors, including digital platforms and broadcasters.

It says labelling would help preserve the integrity of Canada’s information and cultural ecosystem.

AI labelling is among 13 recommendations in a report released this week by the committee, following a study of the impacts of artificial intelligence on the cultural sector.

It says most of the testimony it heard expressed "profound concerns" about how AI could threaten the long-term viability of the creative sector.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 16, 2026.
