LOS ANGELES, United States: Actors created with artificial intelligence will not be eligible for an Oscar, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said on Friday as it launched a crackdown on the use of AI.
New rules include a requirement that only real, live human performers -- not their AI avatars -- are eligible for the film world´s biggest prizes, and screenplays must have been penned by a person, rather than a chatbot.
“In the Acting category, only roles credited in the film´s legal billing and demonstrably performed by humans with their consent will be considered eligible,” the Academy said.
“In the Writing categories, the rules codify that screenplays must be human-authored to be eligible.”
The ruling comes days after an AI version of the late Val Kilmer was unveiled to an audience of cinema owners, a year after the “Top Gun” star´s death.
