AI-Generated Actors and Scripts Banned from Oscars
The organization behind the Oscars ceremony has released updated rules that include several points regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences stated that in the categories of "Acting" and "Best Role," only characters "credited in the film and played by humans with their consent" will be considered. A similar requirement has been introduced for scripts—they must be "written by humans." Representatives of the organization also reserved the right to request additional information about the nature of generative AI use in film production. In the text, the Academy used the term "artificial intelligence" only once. The new rules emerge amid the spread of neural networks in Hollywood. Currently, the film industry is actively discussing the return of the late actor Val Kilmer to the screen in the film "As Deep as the Grave"—AI is being used for his "resurrection." AI actress Tilly Norwood frequently appears in related news. A digital avatar of the actress is used to release music videos and other visual works. Artificial intelligence was also a major topic of debate during the strikes in Hollywood in 2023. Back in October 2024, Nicolas Cage urged young actors not to succumb to pressure from employers and to fight against the use of AI to alter or manipulate their performances. In November 2025, Oscar winners Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine signed an agreement with ElevenLabs to create digital copies of their voices.
