AI-generated actors and scripts are now ineligible for Oscars

The Academy updated Oscar rules to require credited acting to be performed by humans and screenplays to be human-authored.

AI-generated actors and AI-written scripts will not qualify for Oscar consideration under the new standard.

The Academy also said it can review a film’s use of AI and determine how authorship affects eligibility.

The move sets a clear boundary for how major awards will treat generative AI in filmmaking.
