Academy Clarifies AI Use in Oscar Eligibility Rules

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has updated its eligibility rules, declaring that only acting and writing conducted by humans will qualify for Oscar nominations. This decision comes amidst increasing concerns regarding artificial intelligence's role in film, especially as notable examples of AI-generated content have emerged. The Academy specifies that for an Oscar, acting must be 'demonstrably performed by humans' and writing must be 'human-authored' to ensure that creative works continue to reflect human touch and influence.
