The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has updated its eligibility rules to exclude generative AI-generated performances and scripts from acting and writing categories.
In acting categories, only roles "demonstrably performed by humans with their consent" qualify for awards consideration. Writing categories limit eligibility to "human-authored" screenplays, according to rules reported by The Wrap.
The changes do not impose a wholesale ban on generative AI in filmmaking. Use of generative AI "and other digital tools" in other categories will not affect a film's nomination chances, though the Academy will consider "the degree to which a human was at the heart of the creative authorship" when selecting award winners.
If questions arise about generative AI use, the Academy reserves the right to request more information about its nature and human authorship.
