Using generated AI won’t “neither help nor damage your chances of getting an Oscar nomination”
According to a statement, the group shared a statement on the voting changes to the 98th Oscar, which took no stance on AI’s official attitude toward the film. Questions about using AI-nominated movies first raised in 2024 Barbarians and Emilia Pérez Acknowledges the use of this technology to change performances.
“With the generative AI and other digital tools used in making movies, the tools neither help nor hurt the chance of getting nominations,” Ampas wrote. “The Academy and each branch will judge achievement, considering the core extent to which humans choose to award the famous author of which movie.”
Although the organization at least reiterates that human participation is their primary concern, they also don’t seem to believe that using AI (which may be trained in ill-fair work on its membership) is an existing problem. The Hollywood union feels different in history: One of several questions raised during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023 is that AI can be used to replace real people’s work. Barbarians and Emilia Pérez Use it to modify vocal performances, but you don’t have to connect too many points to see the generated AI play a bigger role in the future.
The academy is more flexible than it has been years ago, expanding membership, adding new award categories, and improving rewards for better ones along with the AI statement. However, it seems that most industries still seem to be waiting for a decisive legal victory over AI companies to set new standards before changing the adjustment to technology.
