Oscars says AI actors and writing cannot win awards

Meanwhile, the basis of all AI tools are large language models (LLMs), which have been trained on text, images and video created the decades in order to produce their outputs. Hollywood studios, actors and authors have pursued lawsuits claiming copyright infringement against a number of AI companies. However, the academy did not issue a ban on AI use in films more broadly. Outside of acting and writing, if a filmmaker used AI tools in their work, such "tools neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination", the academy wrote. "The Academy and each branch will judge the achievement, taking into account the degree to which a human was at the heart of the creative authorship when choosing which movie to award," the group added. "If questions arise regarding the aforementioned use of generative artificial intelligence, the Academy reserves the right to request more information about the nature of the use and human authorship." Technology has been part of filmmaking for many years, with the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) being used widely since the 1990s. While CGI is largely considered to be a manual process, something done and perfected create elements of a film, AI tools are generally designed to automate the work entirely through the use of simple prompts.
