The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has moved to draw a clear line on the use of artificial intelligence in films, making it explicit that AI-generated actors and writers will not be eligible for Oscars in key categories.

Under the new rules, only performances carried out by humans and screenplays written by individuals will qualify for acting and writing awards, starting with the 2027 Oscars.

The move comes amid growing concern within the film industry over the rapid rise of generative AI and its potential to replace human talent.
