The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has tightened its rules around AI use in film production for the 99th Academy Awards. Screenplays must now be 'human-authored' to be eligible for awards consideration. Only performances 'demonstrably performed by humans with their consent' will qualify for acting prizes. The academy reserves the right to request information about AI tool usage and human involvement. The changes build on previous guidance and reflect the industry's ongoing debate about AI's role in filmmaking. The new rules take effect with next year's Oscars, scheduled for March 14, 2027.
