New Oscars rules ban Generative AI from ever being eligible for an Academy Award

Tilly Norwood.

Sorry, Tilly Norwood, no Oscar for you! The Academy has changed its rules for the upcoming 99th ceremony and beyond, banning AI-generated actors and screenplays from being eligible to win any gold.

The news comes straight from the official Oscars rules page, which was updated as of May 1 to reflect a series of new changes. One of the items in the Special Rules for Acting Awards category states that "only roles credited in the film's legal billing and demonstrably performed by humans with their consent will be considered eligible." Under Special Rules for Writing Awards, it now says that, "In order to be eligible in either Writing category, an explicit screenwriting credit must be present in the film’s legal billing and the screenplay must be human-authored."
