The Titmouse Bargaining Committee secured the following worker protections regarding the use of AI in the workplace. These protections are in lockstep with protections that our fellow workers enjoy in TAG and across IATSE's film unions.

● Union roles that utilize Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) systems or GenAI-produced materials will continue to be covered by this agreement. This provision is important because it prevents Titmouse from reclassifying work as non-union and therefore not covered by the protections of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. 

● If a member uses GenAI in the performance of their work, the use of GenAI will not affect their pay, rights, or credit. 

● The Producers have to give written notice in advance if GenAI usage will be a requirement of a role. Once the studios have given that notice, the employee may request a consultation during which they may discuss alternative methods of completing the assignment that do not use GenAI. 

● If the use of GenAI results in Titmouse Union members being displaced or job duties changing, additional language enforces the use of the “Technological Change” clause and its protections, such as employer-funded job training. 

● Titmouse cannot require members to provide prompts that would result in the displacement of covered workers. 

● Should Titmouse Canada ever hire writers, Titmouse must disclose to animation writers whenever they are given GenAI-produced written material. That material shall not be considered for purposes of determining credit.
