We would completely lose our livelihood. We would just be replaced. We're already seeing that threat at our heels. We've heard of background performers being scanned when they're going on set, being brought to a separate room to be scanned without their knowledge or proper informed consent. Then they no longer have a full schedule of shooting. They've lost a lot of work, because they're already being replaced with AI and not being compensated for it. This is at our heels. We've already heard the threats in Marvel movies with big Hollywood stars. It's happening to them as well. They want to scan them, replicate them and not have to use them in sequels.
This is a huge threat. We spoke about dubbing and how this is a huge market, especially in Quebec, when it comes to dubbing Netflix series. This will all disappear overnight. The technology has already been made. Thousands of performers, specifically in Quebec, will completely lose their livelihood overnight. I myself have made my living off it for 30 years.
There are numerous areas. Every threat.... We don't know what happens now when we go into an audition. Most of our auditions are self-taped. We send it off into the cyberworld. We have no control over where it goes or what will happen with it. Those are just simply auditions. We're not paid for auditions in the first place. If it's utilized in any other way—to scrape or scan or use in nefarious ways or do whatever—we have no control over that.
