The organization behind the Oscars is for the first time addressing the use of artificial intelligence in performances and scripts for the 2027 Academy Awards. 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 academy says the updates reflect its global focus and commitment to honoring filmmakers.
