Oscars ban AI acting and writing for eligibility rules starting 2027

AI cannot perform or write Oscar contenders from 2027

The Academy Awards will require that acting and writing for Oscar eligibility be human-created. New rules explicitly bar artificial intelligence from being used in these categories, affecting submissions for the March 2027 ceremony. The Academy says the update responds to growing concerns that AI could replace human actors and writers in the film industry, reshaping how future entries are made.
