Generative AI has raised alarm in the movie and TV business as workers fear studios will use the technology to replace human workers to lower costs.
The debut last year of an AI-generated "actress" dubbed Tilly Norwood, and its producer's boasts of interest from studio executives, added to concerns and sparked a backlash from the SAG-AFTRA actors union.
Under the Academy's new rules, filmmakers can use AI tools but a "synthetic" actor such as Norwood would be ineligible for an Oscar, the group said in a statement. It said screenplays must be "human-authored" to be considered.
The rules state the Academy can request additional information to verify submissions were created by humans.
