AI actors and writers not eligible for Oscars: Academy
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced new rules stating that AI-generated actors and writers are not eligible for Oscars. The ruling requires that only human performers and writers are eligible for the awards.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has introduced new rules governing the use of artificial intelligence in films eligible for Oscars. Only real, live human performers and writers are eligible for the awards, excluding AI-generated actors and screenplays. The ruling comes after an AI version of the late Val Kilmer was used in a new film. The Academy's rules also update the nomination process for the best international feature category, allowing films to be submitted if they win a major international film festival award. The new rules aim to address concerns about the impact of AI on the entertainment industry, which was a key issue in the 2023 Hollywood strikes. The changes will be reflected in the statuette plaques for the best international feature category, listing the film's director alongside the country if applicable.
