AI and the Oscars: New eligibility rules address 'human authorship'
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is addressing the eligibility of films using artificial intelligence for the 2027 Oscars.
New rules emphasize human authorship but do not ban AI. The academy released updates Friday across many categories.
Significant changes include expanding the international film category to include films that won top awards at prestigious festivals like Cannes and Venice.
The academy also stresses that humans must be at the center of the creative process.
Screenplays must be human-authored to be eligible.
The academy will review AI-related cases individually.
The updates reflect the academy's global focus and commitment to honoring filmmakers.
