Academy Bans AI From Acting and Screenwriting Awards

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced new eligibility rules: acting roles must be human-credited and performed with consent, and screenplays must be human-authored to be eligible, effectively excluding AI-generated performances and AI-written scripts from acting and writing categories. AI can still be used in productions, but those works won't be eligible for Oscars in these categories. The rules for other categories like visual effects, costumes, or music remain undecided. The changes also allow actors to be nominated for multiple performances in the same category, and international films will be credited as nominees rather than by country.
