The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has introduced new rules for the Oscars, prohibiting the use of generative artificial intelligence for actors and scripts.
From now on, only works performed by real actors whose names are listed in the film credits and scripts written by humans are eligible for awards. The Academy reserves the right to request confirmation of human authorship and additional data on the use of artificial intelligence in films.
These innovations have emerged amidst the growing popularity of artificial intelligence in the film industry. Currently, a project is being developed in which artificial intelligence will recreate the image of Val Kilmer, who passed away in 2025, in the film “Deep as the Grave.”
Another example of combating imitations is Spotify’s artist verification system, launched at the end of April 2026. It certifies that a real person, not artificial intelligence, is behind the account.
