The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) has just announced a new set of regulations for the Academy Awards, which tightens the use of AI in film works participating in the competition.
According to new regulations, only performances confirmed to be performed by humans and with a legal name in the film introduction are eligible for consideration for the Oscar award. The Academy also said that scripts must be written by humans to be eligible to participate in the competition.
In addition, this organization has the right to request filmmakers to provide more information related to the use of AI and the level of human participation in the film production process.
The above move takes place in the context of AI increasingly appearing in the film industry. Some recent projects have used AI technology to recreate the image of actors or create virtual characters.
Previously, the use of AI had become one of the major controversial issues in the strikes of actors and screenwriters in Hollywood.
Not only in cinema, the controversy about AI has also spread to the publishing and literary fields. Some works have been suspected of using AI in their writing process, leading to withdrawals from awards or revocations.
The new regulations of the Oscars are seen as a move to protect the creative role of humans in the context of rapidly developing generative AI technology.
