AI-generated actors and scripts are now ineligible for Oscars

TechCrunch
The Academy has updated its rules to mandate that all Oscar-eligible performances and screenplays must be human-created, explicitly excluding AI-generated content.

Summary

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has officially updated its eligibility requirements to address the rise of generative artificial intelligence. New regulations mandate that acting performances must be credited to human actors who performed with consent, and screenplays must be human-authored to qualify for an Oscar. The Academy reserves the right to audit films regarding their AI usage, reflecting broader industry concerns surrounding the role of AI in creative work, which were central issues during the 2023 labor strikes.
