"The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has adjusted the eligibility
criteria for films vying for Oscars from 2027 onward.
Films featuring actors generated by artificial intelligence (AI) are now
ineligible, as are scripts that aren’t demonstrably human-authored.
Crucially, the rules do not
ban AI – generative or otherwise – altogether.
The Academy explicitly acknowledged the widespread adoption of generative AI,
and has left it to voters to determine whether a film’s creative direction is
substantively driven by humans.
Academy president Lynette Howell Taylor framed it simply: “humans have to be at
the centre of the creative process”.
The rules were imposed following specific controversies: the 2025 awards season
surfaced AI voice modification in
The Brutalist, AI voice cloning in
Emilia
Pérez, and varying degrees of AI use in
A Complete Unknown and
Dune: Part
Two.
The resulting public debate has focused almost entirely on what audiences can
see: generated faces, synthetic voices and digital resurrections. But this
focus ignores the main areas of film production in which AI actually plays a
key role."
